So there is no hotel shuttle but is there a Super Shuttle service? I will have a large suitcase as I'm coming to Vancouver for a visit afterwards and don't feel like shlepping it any distance. ________________________________ From: Todd Harper <laevantine@gmail.com> To: Ted Coopman <ted.coopman@gmail.com> Cc: aoir list <air-l@aoir.org> Sent: Friday, October 7, 2011 8:23:14 PM Subject: Re: [Air-L] SEATAC to the Hotel There's a route directly from baggage claim to the light rail station that goes through the parking garage and doesn't require crossing an interstate on foot. It's well-marked so you shouldn't have any trouble finding it. Be advised that it's kind of a hike from the terminal to the rail station with your luggage, in my opinion, but it is a cheap and reliable way to get downtown from Seatac, especially since the hotel has no shuttle.

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.
