Seattle-Tacoma International Airport offers a range of connections to the University of Washington Campus.
The Link light rail is an easy, great way to get to the UW campus from the airport. It picks you up at the airport, runs every 5-15 minutes, and drops you off right on the UW campus, just a 7 minute walk from the dorms you will be staying in.
From the arrivals hall at Sea-Tac Airport, follow the signs for Link Light Rail; the station is a short walk from the terminal on the far side of the parking garage. Tickets must be purchased before boarding. The cost is $3.00 and you can buy a ticket from the ticket machine at the station, on your phone using an app, or by tapping a credit/debit card on the reader (More info here). Take the northbound train (1 Line) toward Lynnwood City Center and get off at the U District station.
Taxis and Uber/Lyft are also available from the airport. Note that for Uber/Lyft you will meet the car in the 3rd floor parking lot for pick up.
