Airport/Transportation:
Many Seattle visitors arrive by plane at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac), which is about a 20-30 minute drive from downtown or 35-45 minute ride via Link Light Rail.

There are many shuttle buses that can take you to Seattle and elsewhere in the region, or you can rent a car, grab a taxi or limo, or take public transportation.

Link Light Rail will whisk you from the airport to downtown Seattle in about 35 minutes, 7 days a week. At about $2.50 a ride, it is the best deal in town to travel between Seattle and SeaTac.

Seattle Center Monorail is the nation’s first full-scale commercial monorail system that provides a fun, quick and convenient link from Downtown Seattle to Seattle Center daily (Mon – Fri: 7:30am – 11pm; Sat and Sun: 8:30am to 11am). Departing every 10 minutes, the one-mile trip takes just two minutes.

In Downtown Seattle, hop on the monorail at Westlake Center at 5thAve & Pine Street. The Seattle Center station is located near the Space Needle. Learn more at seattlemonorail.com.
