Sea-Tac to Tacoma South to the Sound.
From SEA to downtown Tacoma, the Stadium District, University Place and the South Sound. Estimated fare $90–115 in a sedan — the exact price is always confirmed on request.
The other half of Sea-Tac.
The airport is named for both cities for a reason: Tacoma is just as close to SEA as Seattle is. Rides south serve downtown Tacoma and its museums and waterfront, the Stadium District, University Place and — for longer trips — Gig Harbor across the Narrows.
The route runs south on I-5 through Federal Way and Fife — about 20 miles to downtown Tacoma, typically 30–45 minutes. The I-5 corridor near Tacoma is one of the busiest in the state on weekday afternoons, so departures from Tacoma to SEA get a generous buffer.
Expect roughly $90–115 to downtown Tacoma in a sedan; the exact price is confirmed from your address. Federal Way, Kent and Auburn sit between the airport and Tacoma and are usually a little less.
