DIRECTIONS: (From Sea-Tac Airport via public transportation)
On the baggage claim (lower) level of the airport exit and depending on where you are the Metro Bus 194 will stop at the very beginning and very end of terminal building. This is an express bus to downtown that takes 30 minutes to the point where you will exit the bus on 4th between Pike St. and Pine St, transfer to the number 49 just around the corner on Pike St. in front of the Rite-Aide. (Cross both 4th behind bus and then Pike) Once on the 49 (University District via Broadway) it will come up to Capitol Hill. At the end of the Broadway E. business district it will veer right onto 10th Ave. E. then a light at Aloha and your stop in one more block at 10th Ave. E. and E. Prospect. Not more than 15 minutes. Exit bus, cross 10th. Ave E and walk one block and we are on the SW corner of Broadway E. and E. Prospect. I can see the stop from my kitchen window. Fare during peak is $2.25, Non Peak $1.75 Get a two zone transfer when you pay upon boarding.

The Bus Tunnel downtown reopened in 2007 and 194 will be in it under 3rd Avenue and Westake Station is at 3rd and 4th under Pine St. Take the escalator up and pick look for the Rite-Aide at 4th and Pike one block southeast.  It is not open on Sunday or after 7 PM so it will follow the route above.

Light Rail is scheduled to open in 2009 but it will not cut much time off your trip.

You will be speaking with Brooke, who if he can’t directly take care of you, will have one of his other drivers pick you up.  Airport Taxi service can be spotty, as they often have a tough time finding us and many have switched to natural gas so half their trunk is now filled with the tank limiting luggage room.  Also the towncar rate will be slightly less than airport taxi.  Current rate is $35 but subject to change (gas$$$), so reconfirm when reserving and let them know that you were referred by us for the special rate.
