Details

• Between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m., Metro's Night Stop lets you ask the driver to let you off anywhere along the route, even where there is no bus stop: go to the front of the bus at least a block ahead, and the driver decides whether the stop can be made safely. Drivers pick up only at regular stops, and Night Stop is not available in downtown Seattle between Battery Street and South Jackson Street, or on the waterfront and Interstate 5.
• You can also pick up printed bus timetables at the Ground Transportation Information Booth on the Baggage Claim level near Door 16, across from Baggage Carousel 12.
• Metro buses allow bikes on board.
• The pedestrian bridge to the station is open 24/7; you can exit to International Boulevard by the elevator or the stairs on the west side of the station.
