Logistics in Seattle and Victoria

I will be taking the clipper from Seattle June 27 and staying at the Empress. What is the best method of transportation to get to the Empress from the pier? Is it too far for walking?

Also arriving back in Seattle at 7:30 Pm on 6/28 via the Clipper to pier 69. How would be best to get to the Hilton at the Seattle Airport?

Walk to the Empress - very close.

Taxi to the airport if 2 or more, shuttle express or alrport limo if 1.

Yes, you can't miss the Empress - it's right up front when you're coming into the docks on the ferry.

I did this trip a year or so ago. Walked to the Empress and took a cab (about $40) to the Hilton at the airport for an early morning departure out of Seattle. Easy.

Thanks for you tips. I am happy to hear the Empress is walking distance. I checked to websites out for the different transit systems. This is a lot of help. Thank you.
