Smaller local airports: BFI and LKE
Boeing Field/King County International Airport (BFI) is nearer by road than SEA and can be quicker by car depending on service availability. BFI is generally used for general aviation and some regional flights.
Seattle Lake Union Seaplane Base (LKE) sits closer to downtown for seaplane arrivals; if you land at LKE you will usually be a short taxi or rideshare away from the hotel.
- BFI: may offer charter or limited scheduled flights — check your carrier
- LKE: seaplane service can land very close to downtown; expect a short ground trip to the hotel
- If arriving at either airport, plan taxis or rideshares rather than light rail
| Airport | Typical ground time to hotel |
|---|---|
| BFI (Boeing Field) | Shorter than SEA by car when traffic is light |
| LKE (Seaplane Base) | Very short by car/rideshare |
Public transit alternatives and buses
Several bus routes connect downtown Seattle with SeaTac; fares are lower than taxis but travel times are longer and schedules vary. Check local transit schedules and routes before you travel.
If you use transit from SEA, look for direct or rapid bus lines to downtown stops near Westlake or the Convention Center, then walk to 99 Union St.
- Buses are the most economical option but can take 35–60 minutes from SEA depending on route
- Allow extra time for luggage and transfers between bus and walking segments
- Use official transit apps or agency websites for real-time schedules
| Transit | Pros |
|---|---|
| Bus | Lower cost; multiple route choices |
