Getting to Tacoma
Tacoma is just 22 miles south of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), on Interstate 5. Tacoma is also served direct by Amtrak’s Coast Starlight and Cascades services, and Sound Transit’s Sounder South commuter rail service to/from Seattle King Street station.
If you are arriving at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (know locally as SeaTac), you can, of course rent a car or use a ride share service. But we have good, local public transportation, and Sound Transit operates a fast, cheap ($3.25), limited stop coach service from SeaTac airport terminal to Tacoma (route #574) every 30 minutes. Journey time is about 40-50 minutes. It terminates at the Tacoma Dome, from which a free shuttle bus (temporary replacing the Tacoma Link light rail service) can bring you to the Convention Center Station, within a block of the Hotel Murano and Marriott. It’s a bargain!
Many local attractions, bars and restaurants are within a very short walk of the Hotel Murano. Unfortunately, the Tacoma Link Light Rail has just announced that it will be closed until mid September for construction of an extension, but a free shuttle bus service will run in its place.
