FAQs

Question

Which airport should I fly to and from?

Answer

The best airport to fly in and out of is Seatac Airport. It is about 20-40 minutes south of Seattle, depending on traffic. There are options for renting cars there or you can access public transportation as well. If using public transportation form the airport, you can use the light rail train to travel into the city. Uber and Lyft are available, but rather expensive in Seattle. A ride share ride from the airport to downtown Seattle will be around $100.
