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.
