TRANSPORTATION FROM SEA-TAC AIRPORT

    The estimated cost from the airport to the University is $35-40 (a better option than Shuttle Express if shared by two or more).

    The fare is $1.25 ($1.75 during rush hour)
    From bay #1 on Sea-Tac's lower level, take either the #194 (before 9pm) or the #174 (after 9 pm), both of which leave every 30 minutes, to the downtown Seattle bus tunnel, where you will change to the #71, 72, or 73, one of which leaves every ten minutes, to the University District. If you arrive downtown on the bus after 11pm, instead of the bus tunnel, you can catch the 71, 72, or 73 along 3rd avenue.
