Travel

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport offers a range of connections to the University of Washington Campus.

The Link light rail is an easy, great way to get to the UW from the airport. It picks you up at the airport, comes about every 5-15 minutes, and drops you off right on the UW campus; just a 15 minute walk from the dorms you will be staying in.

From the arrivals hall at Sea-Tac Airport, follow the signs for Link Light Rail; the station is a short walk from the terminal on the far side of the parking garage. Tickets must be purchased at the station before boarding. The cost is $2.50 and can be paid in cash or with a credit/debit card. Take the train to the last stop (UW). Here are directions walking from the UW link stop to the Lander Hall where you will check in.

Taxi’s and uber/lyft are also available from the airport. Note that for uber/lyft you will meet the car in the 3rd floor parking lot for pick up.

Lodging

The most affordable lodging option in close proximity is the UW guest housing program which you can book at this link. They have an option for $44 a night.

For about a $100 more UW has some homestay programs which may be worth looking into. However, there may be some additional commuting you will have to do depending on where your homestay location is if you decide to go with this option. The link is here.

If you prefer to stay at a hotel, the University of Washington maintains a list of hotels near campus on its website.
