Seattle Metro Bus

Approximate cost: $1.50 or $2.00 per passenger depending on time of day

Bus service from SeaTac to the University District is affordable but somewhat inconvenient. Metro buses stop at the south end of the main drive outside baggage claim at SeaTac, not far from baggage carousel 1 (SeaTac map). Get on bus #194 bound for “Downtown Seattle." Pay as you board and ask the driver for a transfer. Get off in downtown Seattle and transfer to one of several other bus lines, as described below, depending on your destination. (NOTE: University Street in downtown Seattle, where you get off bus #194, has no relationship whatsoever to the University of Washington! UW is located in the University District, which is approximately 20 minutes north of downtown Seattle by bus.)

To the UW dorms: Get off the #194 on 4th Avenue between University and Union Streets and walk one block west to 3rd Avenue. On 3rd Avenue between University and Union Streets, board either a #71, #72, or #73 bound for the “University District."

Get off at the very first stop on NE Campus Parkway, shortly after crossing the ship canal on the University Bridge. You will be half a block east from Terry Hall (see campus map).

To the Silver Cloud Inn: Get off the #194 at 4th Avenue between University and Union Streets, and walk one block west to 3rd Avenue. On 3rd Avenue between University and Union Streets, board either a #71, #72, or #73 bound for the “University District." Get off at “Bay 1” on NE Campus Parkway, then walk east to “Bay 2” and transfer to a #68 bus. The #68 will travel through the UW campus, then proceed downhill to University Village and north on 25th Ave NE. Get off at the Silver Cloud Inn near NE 50th Street, 5 blocks north of University Village.

To the University Tower Hotel: Get off the #194 on 4th Avenue between University and Union Streets, and walk one block west to 3rd Avenue. On 3rd Avenue between University and Union Streets, board either a #71, #72, or #73 bound for the “University District." Continue past NE Campus Parkway, and get off at NE 45th Street and University Way. Walk one block west along NE 45th Street to the University Tower Hotel on the corner of NE 45th Street and Brooklyn Avenue NE.

To the Watertown Hotel or University Inn: Get off the #194 on 4th Avenue between Pike and Pine Streets (the next stop after University Street). Walk one block west to 3rd Avenue. On 3rd Avenue between Pike and Pine Streets, board bus #66 bound for “Northgate." Get off on 11th Avenue NE at NE 42nd Street, and walk one block west to Roosevelt Way NE. University Inn is on the corner of NE 42nd Street and Roosevelt Way NE; The Watertown Hotel is one block north on the corner of NE 43rd Street and Roosevelt Way NE.
