Getting to the Summer Institute on the UW Campus

Institute trainees are expected to arrive Friday, July 18, 2008. Attendees will need to make their own arrangements for getting to the Summer Institute.

There are three main transportation options from Sea-Tac International Airport to the University of Washington Campus. See the section below on Residence Hall Check-In for specifics on what to do once you arrive on campus.

Shuttle Express Service

Shuttle Express provides cost-effective, door-to-door, 24-hour shuttle service to and from Sea-Tac Airport. On the baggage claim level please see airport signage for the current location. Ask to be taken to the University of Washington campus. The cost is $31 per person, one way. Advance reservations are required on trips returning to SeaTac. Book your seat online or by phone; visit their Web site and click on Airport Transfers or call (425) 981-7000 or 800-487-7433.

Once you arrive at the airport, ring bell outside baggage area, passenger loading zone, for taxi dispatch (approximately 20 miles to UW). Ask the driver to take you to the University of Washington campus. Taxi fare will be approximately $45-$50.
