Getting there

  • TipPier 66 is walkable from downtown hotels. Pier 91 is not, so take a taxi or rideshare (about 10 min from Queen Anne). Shuttle Express runs scheduled hotel-to-terminal transfers.
  • TipFor storage between voyages, Interbay (Extra Space on W Armory Way) is right by Pier 91. SEA airport is 15+ mi south, so storing near the port saves a long trip with bags.
