DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS: AIRPORT TO SHERATON HOTEL

1. Drive North on either:
• the main airport access road [currently in an ever changing state due to construction of a light rail line and station],
• State Highway 509, or
• International Boulevard, which is also State Highway 99.
2. Exit to the right and drive East on State Highway 518. [Tip: Once on State Highway 518, move into the leftmost lane as soon as possible.]
3. Exit to the left and drive North on Interstate 5 for just over 10 miles.
4. Exit to the left onto Seneca Street. [Tip: As you approach downtown, prepare for this exit by moving into the second lane from the left; the leftmost lane exits only into express lanes that completely bypass downtown.]
5. At first traffic light, turn right onto 6th Avenue.
6. Go two blocks - past University and then Union Streets. Hotel is on the right side of 6th Avenue between Union and Pike Streets.

Tip: A car is a detriment in downtown Seattle, and parking at the hotel and elsewhere is expensive. Traffic downtown can be awful. It's faster and easier to walk, or take "Metro" buses (i.e., public transportation); which are free during the day. A car could be useful if you plan to tour widely outside the immediate downtown core.

QUESTIONS?
If you have any questions while you're anywhere in the Seattle area, just act like a local. Put on your best smile, approach anybody who looks as if they have a clue (e.g., bus driver, doorman, random person on the street), and then using a friendly voice, ask away. Use 'please' and 'thank you' liberally. Keep smiling. You'll be amazed at how much you'll learn. This is how Seattle does things.

Our many thanks go to X12er Dave Feinberg who researched and updated the following information on Seattle so that X12 attendees can make the most of that great city during the January 2010 meeting. GREAT JOB, Dave.
