Getting Around
Sea-Tac Airport
Airport
The closest airport to our venue is Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). From there, we highly recommend taking the Light Rail (see more in that section!). SeaTac offers TSA Pre-Check and Clear expedited security at gates. You can find TSA PreCheck at Checkpoints 1 and 4 in the main terminal. You can find Clear at Checkpoints 1 and 5 in the main terminal. For passengers departing via general security, check out the "skip the line" option available daily from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. at Checkpoints 2 and 4: https://www.portseattle.org/SEAspotsaver
Seattle Link
Light Rail & Train
Seattle has easy, safe, and low-cost public transit via light trail and train! First, from the airport: The light rail has a station inside of the airport parking garage, and the airport has signs in the terminal all the way to the station guiding you there. Link light rail trains depart every 8-10 minutes for most of the day. From baggage claim, follow the signs for the Link light rail. It takes 38 minutes between the airport and the heart of downtown Seattle, where our venue and recommended hotels are.
