We recommend downloading the Transit app to see real-time updates on bus and train arrivals.
Sound Transit Bus 574 runs from the Tacoma Dome station approximately every 30 minutes and drops passengers at the airport entrance. Students should take the bus which leaves at least 2 hours and 40 minutes prior to their flight departure. The schedule is available on Sound Transit’s website.
The Tacoma Dome station is an 11 minute drive from campus, so students have the option of carpooling with a friend, calling Uber/Lyft, or taking local transit.
Taking public transit from campus to the Tacoma Dome station takes approximately 45-55 minutes. The Transit app can be used to see different options, including taking one bus with more walking, or reducing walking and transferring busses.
