Directions were spot on. Thanks Mark! Nora Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there ~Rumi On Oct 7, 2011, at 7:14 PM, Mark Chen <markchen@u.washington.edu> wrote:
I'm a local and use the light rail for all my airport needs. It is easy. When you leave the terminal, go towards the parking garage using one of the catwalks (it's mezzanine level, between arrivals and departures), then turn left. With the edge of the parking garage on your left, keep walking until you get to the light rail. If you have *a lot* of luggage, it might be a problem, but it's doable.
Get off at the University St station, find the exit for 3rd and Seneca (iirc, when you get off the train turn right, go up the escalators, then take the left exit up). Then just a short walk to the hotel.

I recently spoke at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, and I can attest to how awesome this light rail is. Highly recommended over spending money on a taxi, if $$ is a concern.

All,
Seattle has a nifty new light rail system that runs to and from the airport to downtown. It wasn't in operation when I was living there but I looked around and it appears the University Street station is the closest (.3 miles/7 minutes walking) to the hotel and it looks like it is not up hill (major consideration downtown - *steep* *hills*). The train takes 45 minutes and the fare from the airport is $2.75 one way.
The website is at: http://www.soundtransit.org they do have a trip planner. Lots of trains, esp. during peak times
Walk from seatac to Seatac Link Light Rail Station 1. Walk southeast on Perimeter Rd. 2. Continue on Seatac Access Road. 3. Walk northeast on Seatac Access Road. 10 min (0.3 mi)
I assume it will be well marked. If any locals wish to chime in case I am wrong or to confirm I am right, please do.
