Location
Transportation
There is no public transportation between UW and Pack Forest Conference Center. We will provide transport from UW to Pack Forest on Friday morning, then from Pack Forest back to Seattle on Sunday afternoon.
When you arrive in Seattle, there are a variety of options to get from SeaTac to UW.
SeaTac Airport - Seattle:
Google maps and King County Metro’s online trip planner are both good resources for finding the fastest route using public transportation. The OneBusAway smartphone app is a great way to track bus arrival and departure times when using any of the buses within and around Seattle.
We recommend riding the Link Light Rail to get to UW campus from the airport. Be mindful that the Light Rail stops running between 1 AM and 5 AM Monday-Saturday and between midnight and 6 AM Sunday.
More convenient/expensive options include a taxi, Uber/Lyft, or Super Shuttle.
SeaTac or UW - Pack Forest:
You will receive an email before the conference that will detail your travel itinerary (ie. when and where you will be picked up and dropped off).
