Projects
Getting to the Collegiana/Hotel Deca from Seattle-Tacoma
Here are some options to get to the hotels from the airport:
A-ABC Transportation offers a flat rate ($30-35 typically, before tip) for door-to-door car service. They are a private car service (though they don't have the nicest fleet of cars) and are less expensive than a cab. Call for a reservation.
- Taxis from the airport cost about $40 (before tip) and can be found by following the signs in the airport.
Shuttle Express picks up passengers at the inner curb on the third floor of the Airport Garage. Call to make a reservation.
- There is a new light-rail service from the airport to downtown Seattle, but you will then need to take a taxi to the house/hotel (about 5 miles north of downtown). This is not a good option unless you want to spend time in downtown Seattle.
