Hotels You Can Walk To From Seattle–Tacoma Airport (SEA)
Seattle, WA
Seattle–Tacoma funnels all passengers through the Link light-rail skybridge, so most walkable hotels cluster just beyond that station on International Boulevard. Use the indoor walkway to reach those skybridge-friendly properties and reserve the sidewalk routes for the slightly longer Hilton/Radisson/Coast strolls.
The SEA hotel shuttles run on loops that can cost 20–30 minutes once you count the wait. The skybridge route is always open and takes the same time no matter when your flight leaves.
