SeaTac Airport to Hotel (Suquamish Clearwater Casino) :

Seattle now has a light rail link from SeaTac airport which runs every 15 minutes and costs just $2.50 to get to downtown Seattle (34 minutes). You would get off at the University Street station, walk 5 blocks down the hill to Coleman Dock and the Bainbridge Island ferry (walk-on roundtrip fare is $6.90, ferries about every half hour, varies; 35 minute ride) then catch the free Suquamish Clearwater Casino shuttle which meets every ferry (20 minutes). The hotel is at the casino. So – it will take about an hour and a half, perhaps two depending on ferry wait time in Seattle, and less than $10 to get to the hotel. No car needed.
