The Crowne Plaza Hotel – Seattle is located in downtown Seattle at 1113 6th Avenue, approximately 17 miles (27 kilometers) North of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
Link Light Rail Trains to/from Seattle-Tacoma Airport
The SeaTac Airport Station is connected to the fourth floor of the airport garage. Trains arrive and depart on the platform level of the station. The covered, level walkway to the airport terminal is one level down on the mezzanine. The well-lit walkway is separated from the main area of the garage and directional signs point the way to the main terminal skybridge. The Link Light Rail service runs from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. Monday through Saturday and 6 a.m to midnight on Sundays. Trains arrive and depart every 7 1/2 to 15 minutes, depending on the time of day.  Disembark at the University Street Station (3rd and Seneca Streets). The Crowne Plaza is 3.5 blocks up Seneca Street at 6th (route is quite steep). Fare: $3

Taxi Cabs (Yellow Cab)
Available on the third floor of the parking garage. Sedans and large vans are available.  Aproximate cost:  $46. Call (206) 622-6500 or you can also visit their website at www.yellowtaxi.net 

Automobile
Driving in Seattle can be slow and parking downtown (at the hotel) can be challenging; if you choose to use your own transportation we suggest obtaining directions from a source such as googlemaps.com using Crowne Plaza, 1113 6th Avenue, Seattle, WA

The hotel is situated on the corner of two one-way roads: 6th Avenue, which runs NW, and Seneca Street, which runs SW. The hotel has a parking garage that is first-come, first-serve for CANS attendees not staying in the hotel; in before 9am results in a less expensive rate. The parking attendant is accessed just under the marquee of flags on your left immediately after turning left from 6th to Seneca. If the Crowne Plaza lot is full, you might find space in the Olympic Garage which is on 5th and Seneca. Take a left onto 5th and take an immediate right into the garage.

Note that parking for overnight hotel guests is at a reduced rate during the CANS conference. 

Limousine (STILA)
Stationed at the airport, STILA offers town cars, SUVs, and stretch limos and picks up passengers either at the curb outside of Baggage Claim or on the third floor of the parking garage.

To arrange for a limousine or town car, use the touch screen to access "Ground Transportation" on any of the Travelers' Information Boards in Baggage Claim (located near the escalators), use curbside phones, or go to the Ground Transportation Booth on the third floor of the parking garage. You can also contact STILA at (206) 930-1966.
