Visiting WSU Seattle
If you’re visiting Seattle, make sure to make the most of your time here. After you’ve booked your meeting or office space with us, make sure your transportation, lodging, and dining needs are planned.
Transportation
If you fly in from SeaTac or Paine Field during prime commuting hours (7-9 am or 4-6 pm), allow yourself some extra time getting to your destination. There are several transportation options to get from the airport to downtown, more information can be found via the following links:
- Rideshare (Lyft, Uber, Car2Go, ReachNow)
- Link Light Rail
- King County Metro Bus Service
- SeaTac Car Rental
Parking in downtown Seattle can be expensive and is usually billed on an hourly rate, so plan on spending $30-45 for a day of parking if traveling by car. Many hotels will charge for parking as well. More information on Parking can be found at this link.
The WSU Seattle office is within walking distance of the Washington State Convention Center (9 blocks), most hotels and the downtown corridor. Rideshare, taxi, and public transportation options are readily available from right outside the office.
