Directions & Transportation
It may be hilly — those peaks just make for stunning views — but Seattle is a very walkable city. And with light rail, monorail, frequent city buses, car share and complimentary bikes, you’ll find yourself with plenty of easy ways to get around the Emerald City. The Link light rail connects directly from SEATAC airport, takes around 45 minutes and costs only $3.25 for adults. For those driving into town, we offer parking for $45 a night with unlimited in-out privileges.
