Hotel

Best Western Plus Pioneer Square Hotel Downtown

Located in Pioneer Square in Seattle, this is the closest hotel to the ferry terminal, (0.4 miles- which will be great if you want to just get back to your room after getting off the ferry at the end of the night), that is also the most price conscious. It is also within walking distance, (approx. 5-10 minutes) to the Pioneer Square light rail station (which includes service to and from the airport) as well as multiple King County Metro bus routes.

Hotel

Holiday Inn Seattle Downtown - Lake Union by IHG

A great option in Downtown Seattle, this hotel is less than 4 miles from the ferry terminal and a 3-5 minute walk away from a bus stop that serves multiple downtown bus routes.

Hotel

Eastgate Hotel, BW Signature Collection

Located in the Eastgate area of the city of Bellevue, across the bridge from Seattle. This hotel is less than 4 miles from downtown Bellevue, where you'll find a plethora of shopping and restaurants. The Eastgate Park & Ride is nearby, offering access to local and regional bus services, and multiple bus lines with routes to both downtown Bellevue and Seattle are within walking distance. A bus to downtown Bellevue will get you to the Bellevue transit center, where you will find multiple routes and lines to get all over the King County area.

Hotel

Hyatt House Seattle/Bellevue

Another hotel in the Eastgate area of Bellevue, this hotel is also located near the Eastgate Park & Ride and close to downtown Bellevue, meaning that plenty of shopping, restaurants, and public transit options, (including the Bellevue transit center) are nearby.

Travel Note

Public Transit Options

We're very lucky to live in an area that has a plethora of public transit options to help you get around both Seattle and surrounding areas. Most of these options you will need an ORCA card for- available through kiosks at most transit centers and at Sea-Tac airport. Transit options include: King County Metro and Sound Transit bus lines, the Sound Transit light rail, the Seattle street car, WA State ferries, the King County water taxi, the Seattle Center monorail, the Sounder commuter rail, Lime bikes and scooters, a myriad of local cab companies, and, of course, Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare services. If you're planning to use a rideshare service from the airport to downtown Seattle, consider using Seattle Yellow Cab instead- they offer flat rate options to common locations, including downtown Seattle. Feel free to price compare between them and Uber and Lyft to get the best deal! Another great option for traveling between Sea-Tac airport and downtown Seattle is the Sound Transit light rail. It is the most direct route to downtown Seattle and is a super fun experience. Be wary of sports schedules when taking the light rail or the Sounder commuter train- they tend to fill up fast and you may end up waiting for a seat longer than you'd like.
