Travel & Stay

Getting to
Seattle.

September in Seattle is often warm in the day and cooler by the water at night. Here's a starting point for planning your trip - we'll add specifics as details firm up.

01 / ARRIVING

By plane, by car, by ferry

01
SEA - Sea-Tac
INTERNATIONAL - ABOUT 30 MINUTES TO MAGNOLIA

For most guests, flying into SEA is easiest. Rideshare, taxi, or public transit into the city all work well.
