Public Transit from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to the Port of Seattle

Public transit between Seattle's airport and the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal at Pier 91 is not convenient due to lengthy transfers. Instead, air travelers en route to Pier 66 may use the Link Light Rail to reach a central downtown location near hotels.

Cruise lines also offer airport to cruise terminal shuttles for guests arriving on the same day the cruise departs. Pre-booking is available through your cruise line.

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Taxi Service to the Port of Seattle

Flat rate and metered taxi services are readily available from SEA, along with rideshare services including Uber and Lyft. For taxis and most rideshare services, guests are picked up on the third floor of the airport parking garage. Some premium ride services offer curbside pickup on the baggage claim level.

Passengers heading to the Smith Cove Terminal at Pier 91 should shop for necessities downtown prior to arrival. This terminal is about a 15-minute drive from the downtown waterfront and lacks services in the way of food, shopping and more.

Taxis meet arriving trains. Be sure to allow ample travel time for heavy traffic due to downtown construction, sporting events and weekday business commute times.
