    SeaTac Airport gets its name from the two main cities that it supports, Seattle and Tacoma, Washington. Due to its loaction, directly in between the two, make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to land here and still be able to get to your destination on time!

    SeaTac serves Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, America West, American, ATA, Asiana, Continental, Delta, Hawaiian, Northwest, Southwest, United, and US Airways among others serve the Seattle area.

    Please heed my warning... if you are planning on catching a cab to go to dinner... call ahead of time. On a two mile walk throughout all of downtown, I did not see a single cab to hail. Once I arrived at the restaurant, they were nice enough to call a cab for me when I was ready to go... make sure you write the cab companies number down!

    One of the nice transportation options from Tacoma up to Seattle is the Sounder Commuter Train. The Sounder also has a light rail option with four stops in the Tacoma area.

    The main reason I wrote this tip is so you could read this advertisement... I had to laugh! Enjoy!

    The Light Rail that services Downtown Tacoma is short but when walking around for a few hours it is a free way to get you back to where you started. It has five stops starting at the Tacoma Dome and ending by the Theater District. It's new, clean, and comfortable. It arrives often, stops at all the central locations, and I have never seen it be over crowded. Tacoma seems small until your feet hurt.
