Bellevue has introduced a new shuttle service to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac), providing convenient transportation options for both visitors and locals. This initiative is a collaboration between the Port of Seattle, Visit Bellevue, and Eagle Shuttle Service. The shuttle operates hourly, making it an accessible option for anyone needing to travel to or from the airport, regardless of their accommodation status.
The shuttle service runs from Bellevue to SeaTac from 4 a.m. to 9 p.m. and from SeaTac to Bellevue from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. The cost for a one-way trip is $30, plus tax. Families traveling with children under the age of two can ride for free.
Riders can be picked up and dropped off at five designated hotel locations in Bellevue, including the Hyatt Regency Bellevue, The Westin Bellevue, Seattle Marriott Bellevue, Hilton Bellevue, and Hilton Garden Inn. This arrangement allows those not staying at these hotels to utilize the shuttle service, enhancing accessibility for a wider audience.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the Pacific Northwest, offering flights to 33 international destinations on 27 different airlines. Located just 17 miles from Bellevue, the airport serves as a critical hub for travelers heading to the region’s tech centers, scenic landscapes, and cultural attractions.
The shuttle service is set to begin in November, offering a reliable transportation alternative for anyone traveling between Bellevue and SeaTac. With its hourly departures and straightforward pricing, this service is designed to meet the needs of travelers looking for efficient and cost-friendly transit options.
? The whole family with children under the age of 2 ride for free?
Is there a website that has more details on the schedule and how to buy tickets?
Uhh.. Sound Transit charges $3.25 and runs every 30-60 minutes. Kids are free and Seniors are $1.
Tell me why we need this $30 option?
@brian
Will help for people who do not stay close to the transit center.
Although no doubt it is pricey.
All great points! Love to see this community engagement!
@Navin- all those hotels are easily walkable to the transit center.
Not particularly practical for families, specially if we don’t live in downtown. Expensive. Family of 4=$120. Uber is 70+/-. Parking at one if the airport car parking lots can be very cheap, close to $10/day. This is for individuals that live downtown or a staying in a hotel.
I’m glad they are starting this, I’m sure it will be super convenient for those in or near hotels. We live around Newport Hills and recently used LYFT for to and from SEA for $65/70 respectively (including tax and tip)…for the 2 of us door to door service is our preferred way to go right now. Good to have many options!
We need this on Mercer Island. There’s virtually NO convenient transit service to get to the park and ride.
SeaTac is ONE of the busiest airports in the PNW? It is by far the busiest, in fact 10th or 11th busiest in the US. What other airport in the PNW comes close??
Having options is good; freedom to choose is good; positive attitude is good!
As a single traveler staying at the Hyatt Regency, it was definitely easier and more affordable getting to the airport with this service than my ride from the airport with something else. I had booked my pick up at 9:00 am and decided to move it back to 8:00 am Because they run every hour there was no problem with the change. I would definitely use this service in the future.
