Headed to downtown Seattle from SeaTac Airport? Link light rail is an easy way to go!
Sound Transit Link light rail fully-accessible trains depart SeaTac/Airport Station every 8 to 10 minutes most of the day. From airport baggage claim, follow the signs for Link Light Rail. From baggage carousel 16 at the north end of the terminal, go up one floor to the skybridge level. Head across skybridge 6 and turn left through the parking garage to the light rail station.
Note: A free electric shuttle service operates continuously between the light rail station and the airport skybridge.
When you enter the station, look for ticket machines to buy your one-time paper ticket or a reusable ORCA card. (An ORCA card costs $3 plus the cost of the fare, can be “topped up” and works across the regional transit network. However, you will be provided an ORCA card for free when you arrive at the convention center downtown.) Alternatively, you can download the Transit GO Ticket app to buy a digital one-time ticket.
