Transportation Options

Transportation options in Seattle are varied. We have the common options like cars and buses. We have some more unusual options like ferry boats and the South Lake Union Trolley. Soon the light rail options are expanding to areas around the city but for now you can get from downtown to the airport. We have the Pronto Cycle Program. We have the Sounder Train. We even have Duck Tours!

One of the favorite transportation options by bike is the Burke Gilman Trail. Transportation Services at the University of Washington has recently announced the full section of the Burke-Gilman Trail running through the southeast corner of the UW campus is now open. Walkers and bikers can now enjoy the new environment and there will be easy access from the new light rail station that is expected to open in 2016.
