Paine Field

A small terminal north of the city.

Paine Field (airport code PAE) sits in Everett, about 25 miles north of downtown Seattle. Its compact passenger terminal is a pleasant alternative to Sea-Tac for travellers who live or work in Snohomish County and the north end — the walk from gate to curb takes minutes, not a trek through a large terminal.

The catch is ground transportation: fewer taxis and app cars wait at a small airport, especially late in the evening. A pre-arranged car solves it. We follow your flight, meet you at the terminal and drive you to Everett and Lynnwood, downtown Seattle, the Eastside or anywhere in between.

We also drive between the two airports — useful when a trip arrives at Sea-Tac and leaves from Paine Field, or the other way round.

A short walk. The terminal is small; your driver meets you just outside arrivals or inside with a name sign.

02

Plan the evening. Late arrivals have fewer ride options at PAE — book the car in advance.

03

Traffic south. I-5 southbound into Seattle is slow in the morning peak; we time departures accordingly.
