This is a question for Seattle locals -- is it possible to walk from the
closest Metro stop to Pier 91?? We are on a one day Seattle/Vancouver so have little luggage and would like to take the bus instead of paying $20-25 from a downtown hotel. Visitors Bureau said there is no walkway/
path to the Pier. Metro site gives directions to Garfield Bridge (which is
above the pier) or 15th Ave W. then...what?? We used to walk to
the other Princess/HAL pier from the bus stop but there were sidewalks, etc. Would appreciate your input. Thanks

From SEATAC take the light rail to the end of the line at Westlake. The exit will be to Union Street and walk to the Number 24 metro bus at Third Ave. and Pike Street.
The stop for Pier 91 is about two miles ahead at the Garfield Bridge approximately halfway across. When the bus enters the bridge pull the cord and "Pier 91" will light up for the stop. At the stop you will find a walkway under the bridge that will lead you to a security checkpoint and you may be asked for government issued I.D./ tickets for the cruise. After that continue down the stairs and follow the marked walkway to the terminal. Warning: If you have more than two suitcases take a cab, or be prepared to sweat!
The upside is that for less than $20 for light rail and bus tickets two people can avoid a $50 to $75 cab fare from the airport. Also, as an added bonus, this may be the quicker way to the cruise ship than the roadways.
