Is there public transportation to downtown Seattle from the airport? We're staying near airport, map says 12 miles to downtown. Best way??

there is a muni bus route that runs regulary from SEATAC to downtown Seattle, and there are shared vans avaible as well. Last time I was there it was about $25 taxi ride from the airport to the downtown area.
I've used all three and it just depends on how much money you're will to spend. Bus was easy, pretty quick and cheapest of all. But you've gott tote your own luggage, etc.

Thanks, we'll check it out.

Check out SuperShuttle - regular and timely service, decent rates and the driver helps with luggage. There is no public transportation in Seattle besides the bus system and taxis (there are ferries, but they don't apply to this situation.)

Best Regards,
