Getting to Seattle

Flying to Sea-Tac Airport? There are several ways to get from Sea-Tac to Seattle, including Link Light Rail, bus, taxi, and shuttles. To get to the Silver Cloud Hotel (recommended hotel for InfoCamp) from the airport, we recommend one of two options:

take a taxi directly from the airport to the hotel.
take the Light Rail from the airport to the University Street Station. From there, you can take a bus (route 2 - view google transit map of this option), hail a taxi, or walk the one mile uphill to the Silver Cloud Hotel (see map).

Taking the train to Seattle? You'll arrive at the King Street Station in downtown, about 1.5 miles from InfoCamp. To get to the Silver Cloud Hotel, you have two options:

take a taxi directly from the train station to the hotel.
walk a half mile to 2nd & Marion, and take the bus (route 12 - view google transit map of this option).
