Port day transportation from Seattle dock to Pike Place

[brainerdgal]

We will be in Seattle on Celebrity Eclipse from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, September 26. I can't find information on the ship's exact location, but walking to Pike Place Market from the ship will probably take too much valuable time. Are taxis and Ubers plentiful at the dock on port days? If not, any recommendations on the best way to get from the ship to Pike Place?

You will be docking at Smith's Cove , aka, Pier 91 a couple of miles from the downtown core.

Here's a link to the Port of Seattle cruise schedule: https://www.portseattle.org/sites/default/files/2023-06/2023 Sailing Schedule Updated 6.6.23.pdf

 

Hope this helps - some of the Seattle regulars should be able to answer the second part of your question.

Looks like an interesting cruise day at Pier 91 on Sept 26.

In addition to having Celebrity's Eclipse there as a port-of-call, the Royal Princess will be returning from a 3 day cruise SEA-VAN-SEA presumably with passengers from Canada and beyond for the Royal Princess 26 day cruise Seattle to Sydney.

So, there should be taxis and Ubers available to the OP, but it will be a busy day at Pier 91.

there is also  a local bus stop for the public bus to downtown.  Rome2Rio app can help you with bus stop locations 

If you are able, there is a lovely harbor side walking path the whole way as well

It was easy to get an Uber from Pier 91 last week - the ride share is at the end of the pier area and has a shuttle if you want to wait.  We walked out and had no trouble finding our ride.  Taxi was a little bit less expensive.  Pike's Market is about a 15 minutes or so ride away.  While down there it is a bit of a walk to the Space Needle and Chiluly exhibit but really worth it.

Thank you, everyone! Each of your responses was very helpful and now I'm sure we'll be able to get to market faster than our feet can take us.☺️
