    Try this link - another thread on this topic a few years ago but probably still relevant:

    Short answer: 560 ST from W. Seattle to Airport to Bellevue.

    $2.75 one way from West Seattle, clean, on time, surprisingly empty.

    I am flight crew, and have taken the 560ST, very efficient. Google the schedule: 560 Sound Transit to Bellevue from West Seattle. East Bound. I board at the Morgan Junction.

    what bettytheyeti said. seconded, and all of that.

    the 560 is a sound transit bus, i.e. not metro. it originates in the alaska junction, at 44th and alaska, behind the wells fargo bank. the route goes down california to morgan jct, down fauntleroy, past the ferry dock, east on roxbury, down ambaum blvd to b-town, then to seatac.

    from what i remember, the travel time is just over 30 minutes.

    One thing to remember abut the 560, is that it no longer serves West Seattle during the non-peak hours. :-(

    (Although it seems as if they may have restored more runs, from when they cut the route back at last June's shake-up. :-) )

    miws is correct, but if you need to get there during their run time, the 560 is great. I catch it in White Center cause I live in the OTHER part of West Seattle. ;) Fast, convenient, and cheap.
