Seattle Pier 66 Uber/Lyft at disembarkation

[Lynnpins]

Our party of 4 will be ending our Alaska cruise on NCL Encore on May 12, 2024.  Upon debarking, we will be going to the Embassy Suites Pioneer Square hotel on a daypass as our East Coast flight does not leave until 11pm.   We are using Port Valet so we will not have much baggage with us.

My question is, how easy is it to meet up with your Uber/Lyft driver on Pier 66?  Is there a designated rideshare lot or area?

The rideshare pickup area is in front of the terminal and then south in front of Anthony’s Bell Street Diner.  Taxis pickup from the north end between the terminal and the Edgewater Hotel.

The Pier 66 terminal literally empties out on to a sidewalk.  This is a large plaza type space just to the south of the building, between Pier 66 and the restaurant Anthony's, so you can regroup there if you need some time..  It can get congested, but people handle it.

 

Since you will be staying in Seattle before your 11 PM flight, you should take advantage of the light rail system.  You can get on light rail, take it to the Westlake station and either take the monorail to Seattle Center (Space Needle, the Chiluly Glass Garden & Museum, the Museum of Pop Culture, and the food court at the Seattle Center Armory).  Or, after getting off at Westlake Station, you could walk to Pike Place Market and explore that.

 

As for eating out, May 12th is Mother's Day, so all restaurants will be busy.  There is a Marnier's Baseball game @ 1 PM, and the stadium is pretty close to where you are staying (there is a no bag policy except clear bags).  There is good food there.  Or, you could wander the International District and find some great Asian food.
