Take the light rail train from Sea-Tac Airport to Downtown Seattle

Central Link light rail service runs between the airport and downtown Seattle (exit University St. Station); the adult fare is $2.75 ($2.00 children age 6-18) and the trip takes 35-40 minutes. Service is available from about 5 am through midnight daily. It's an amazing bargain. See schedule and fare information.

Airport Taxi Service

From the airport, a cab takes 20-30 minutes depending on traffic and the fare is $40-$45 before tolls and tip; a $32 flat rate applies from downtown Seattle to the airport.
