The route

Eastside plans, kept focused.

If the meetings, family or accommodation are on the Eastside, crossing there directly from the airport keeps the trip focused. There is no need to turn a Seattle arrival into an unnecessary detour.

From Sea-Tac, the usual route runs east to I-405 through Renton and north into downtown Bellevue — about 20 miles, 35–50 minutes. I-405 has express toll lanes; when the regular lanes are slow, your driver may use them, and the toll is already in your fare. Mercer Island and west Bellevue are sometimes quicker via I-90.

Expect roughly $88–110 in a sedan, $106–135 with meet & greet — the exact price is confirmed on request. The estimate covers downtown Bellevue — the hotels, Bellevue Square and the office towers — and the neighbourhoods around it. Heading further to Kirkland or Redmond? Those have their own estimates.
