Link also has a line in Tacoma that runs between the Tacoma Dome and Theater District, but this line is called the Tacoma Link…and it’s free! The trains make several stops, including near CenturyLink Field and Safeco Stadium, so Link is a great way to get to the stadiums on game days, too. Yes, you'll need to at least get to one of the Link stations (listed below), but those are located throughout Seattle and surrounding communities so a quick Uber or bus ride is an easy way to get to one, or having someone drop you off. If you don’t have a ride to the airport, Link is far, far cheaper than taking a taxi or parking at the airport, and the ride is short and pleasant. Link is one of several modes of public transportation between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Seattle. Trains run every 7 to 15 minutes, so you never have to wait long either. Parking lots are located at some stations so you can park and ride, making this a great way to avoid traffic driving into Seattle from the south or from as far north as the University of Washington. While the light rail doesn’t crisscross the city, Link is fabulously useful and easy to use.
While we didn’t include the Tukwila and Seatac stops in this guide, as an extra tip: Those riding all the way to the end can enjoy fishing, swimming, and nature walks at Angle Lake.Seattle’s public transportation network includes a fairly extensive fleet of buses, a monorail, the South Lake Union Streetcar and Link Light Rail. On the way to Sea-Tac International Airport, the train stops in not just the newer, northern stations, but downtown, Pioneer Square, Sodo, Mount Baker, Beacon Hill, and in the Rainier Valley.Īlso, this should go without saying: Not all of these neighborhoods are traditional tourist destinations, so it’s important to be respectful of the existing communities along the stops while getting to know Seattle a little better. In addition to being one of Seattle’s most pleasant public transit experiences, it’s also a great way to explore the city. That number could go up even higher come 2021, when the line stretches to the U District, Roosevelt, and Northgate. But it has become one of Seattle’s most popular transit lines, growing more than 6 percent in ridership last year.
Seattle has had the Sound Transit Link light rail line for about nine years now, and sometimes it still feels brand-new-partially because of the 2016 extension to the University of Washington and Capitol Hill, and partially because so many other cities got their rail systems in before us.
