Getting to Seattle
If you are going to Seattle, consider taking the bus or train from the Tacoma dome station. There is free parking on site and the bus will get you into the city faster than a car. I highly recommend this for anyone who has to go into the city during work hours.
Samgöngur
Walking
Walk toward the harbor (south). Once you reach the intersection, there are sidewalks the rest of the way.
Hvað á að taka með
No bad weather, just inappropriate clothes
Unless it is July/August, bring layers, waterproof shoes, and a rain coat. The pacific northwest is a beautiful place but there is no reason to be miserable if it is raining.
