Seattle Airport SEATAC
 

What is an economical way to get from the Seattle Airport to the Bainbridge Ferry? Going Friday afternoon.

You can also take the Grayline Airporter for $10.25:

Get off at the first stop, the Madison Renaissance. I believe they have a van that will transport you down to the ferry---ask the driver about that because he will have to radio ahead. Or you can just walk the 6 blocks straight down the hill to the ferry.

Keith,

From the Madison Renaissance (515 Madison) to the ticket office on Pier 52 (801 Alaskan Way) is a little over half a mile. It is a pleasant walk unless, of course, you are traveling with luggage.

Happy Trails to You

It has been ages since I last visited Seattle (maybe the early 1970's).

Is the Space Needle Restaurant (by whatever name) still in operation? It was a fascinating place to go, I remember!

They redid the restaurant a couple years ago and renamed it Sky City. The food is supposed to be better than before, but the prices are still sky high--so to speak: http://www.spaceneedle.com/restaurant/

If the weather is clear, the experience of eating in the revolving resturant is worth the marginal food and high prices. If the weather is socked in, I wouldn't bother. You can see the inside of a cloud a lot less expensively.
