SeaTac/Airport Station is a Sound Transit Link Light Rail station serving the city of SeaTac and the Seattle–Tacoma International Airport. It is the current terminus of the Central Link light rail line that connects the airport with Downtown Seattle. The station features public art from four artists, among them Werner Klotz and Fernanda D'Agostino.

Location

The station is located immediately west of the intersection of International Boulevard and South 176th Street. It is on airport property, just east of the airport parking garages. The light rail track leading up to the station goes south along the Airport Expressway from the Tukwila International Boulevard Station.

Pedestrian connections

There is a pedestrian bridge crossing International Boulevard from the station to a kiss and ride facility and the future SeaTac city center. The bridge is accessed by elevators and a stairway to street level. King County Metro's RapidRide A Line provides further southbound travel to the cities of Des Moines & Federal Way.

There is also a pedestrian bridge to connect the station to the airport parking garage where passengers can use a separated walkway to reach the terminal building. Sound Transit says that the walk from the station to the airport terminal takes approximately four minutes.
