Travel & Accommodation

Flight

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport

SeaTac is the largest airport in the region. It is easily accessible using the Link light rail

Train

Link

The Link train is the light rail running from the airport north to Seattle. We recommend this as the best way to get to Seattle. You’ll want to take the 1 line to “Northgate” and then get off at whichever stop you need to get to your accommodation. You can purchase tickets at any of the kiosks at the station. When you leave the airport, follow the signs from departures to the “Link”. You’ll walk through the parking deck to the station.

Rental Car

SeaTac Rental Car Facility

There are many companies that rent cars from the airport and in the Seattle area.

Travel Note

Public Transit

King County Metro operates numerous buses throughout Seattle that are safe and relatively clean. Generally they come every 15 minutes to most stops, with some lines coming more frequently during rush hour. You can either pay the fare at the bus ($1.75/ride with a 2 hour transfer) or on the app linked here. This is an easy way to get around the city. The routes are integrated with both Google and Apple maps to help navigate.
