Information
If
you're flying into Seattle via a commercial airline,
you'll arrive and depart from Seattle-Tacoma
(Sea-Tac) International Airport just south of the city. There
are three easy options for transportation to and
from the Red Lion.
- The
Shuttle Express will take you from Sea-Tac straight
to the Red Lion for $26 one way. Go to their website
or call 425-981-7000 for more information or to
make reservations.
- A
cheaper alternative is the Gray
Line of Seattle.
The Gray Line buses will take you to
the Sheraton hotel, which is only one block from
the Red Lion. The cost is $10.25 one way or $17.00
round trip. Call 206-255-7159 or go to Gray Line's
website to purchase tickets.
- Taxi
cabs are also available for approximately $30 one
way.
Washington
has the largest ferry fleet in the world, and the
many boats traveling in and out of Seattle offer
excellent opportunities for sightseeing as well
as transportation. Vessels of the Washington
State Ferries fleet dock in downtown Seattle and travel
to Bremerton and Bainbridge
Island. The view of
Seattle from a returning ferry at sunset is spectacular.
For those wishing to visit Victoria, British Columbia,
the Victoria
Clipper high speed passenger ferries
arrive and depart throughout the day. It is suggested
that you bring a passport to expedite your entry
to and return from Canada.
If you plan on traveling around the Seattle area
by car, the state Department of Transportation
provides handy traffic
flow information on
their web site. |
