Flight

Sea-Tac (Seattle)

- This airport will have the most variety for times so you can pick what best works for your schedule, and potentially has more affordable flights compared to the other two airports. It will also most likely have more direct flights (depending on where you're flying from). Shuttles are available to car rental places (or you can ride-share), and you can also catch the Bellair bus here as well (see transportation below). It is the farthest away from Anacortes: on average the drive is about 1hr 45 minutes, but can vary based on traffic.

Flight

Pain Field (Everett)

This airport is closer to Anacortes and will shave off maybe 40 minutes or so (just over an hour total of a drive). It's a very small airport, and also very nice, it's easy to get in and out of. Prices can be more expensive, but sometimes you can luck out depending on when you're flying. However, there is less variety on times for flights. Shuttles available to car rental places (or you can ride-share).

Flight

Bellingham Airport

This airport is the closest to Anacortes (about a 50 minute drive). It's also on the smaller side, therefore will have less options than Seattle, but more than Everett. A lot of the time (depending on where you're flying from), you may have a connecting flight from Seattle to Bellingham. You can catch the Bellair bus directly from the airport (see below in transportation). If you're renting a car, you can pick it up at the airport as well.

Travel Note

Bellair Airport Shuttle

If you want to avoid renting a car, this airport shuttle is a great option. Matt and Davis have both used it plenty of times when they were doing long distance: if they can do it so can you! It's a large bus with relatively comfortable seats, you can get picked up directly at both SeaTac and Bellingham airport, and it has 6 different stops throughout Anacortes, so you can try to find one that best coordinates with where you're staying. **Note: one Anacortes stop is Swinomish Market, which is right by the Casino that we have block rates for -- see Hotels for more information**
