Getting to Seattle

The Pacific Northwest may seem far away, but it's closer than you think.

With over 90 domestic and 30 international direct flights offered, Seattle is a major global travel hub.

Daily direct flights between SeaTac International Airport and destinations throughout Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, plus cities throughout the US and Canada, make it easy to get here. With the FIFA World Cup coming to Seattle in June 2026, more cities are being added!

Check out the maps below to see if there's a direct flight from your city.

Once you've landed

Once you're on the ground, rideshare services like Uber and Lyft, plus taxi services and rental cars, are readily available.

If you'd rather use public transit, Sound Transit's Link Light Rail 1 Line will bring you directly from SeaTac Airport to Westlake Station, only a block and a half away from The Westin Seattle. 

To ride the light rail, you can purchase tickets via ticket kiosks at the airport's light rail station, or you can buy your pass in advance by downloading the Transit GO Ticket app, available for download in the App Store and Google Play Store.

Finding your hotel

If you're a Marriott Bonvoy member, good news! The Westin Seattle, our 2026 location, is a Marriott hotel. 

If you're loyal to Hilton, Hyatt, or another hotel chain, there are plenty of options within walking distance of the venue. Check the map below to see some of our recommendations.

Don't forget your rain gear*!

The first week of November in Seattle is typically mild (around 55-60°F, or 12-15°C), with occasional rain. Mornings are cool, and afternoons can warm up quickly. 

 

*Pro Tip: Locals rarely use umbrellas — they’re considered the official badge of the visitor. Dress in light layers with a rain jacket, and you'll be comfortable all day.
