Getting to Costco Wholesale in Seattle
The airport, the ground game, and whether you need a car for a business trip to Costco Wholesale’s Seattle headquarters — from our verified where-to-stay data.
Which airport for Costco Wholesale
Sea-Tac (SEA) ~30 min · car needed. One airport — Seattle-Tacoma (SEA), south of the city. Link light rail runs from the airport into Downtown Seattle (and now toward the Eastside), so a downtown or Capitol Hill trip can skip the car.
The ground reality in Seattle
SEA has a solid rail link: Link light rail runs from the airport to Downtown Seattle in about 40 minutes, with the line now extended toward Bellevue and the Eastside. For downtown, South Lake Union (with a transfer), or Capitol Hill, it is easy. The big Eastside employers — Microsoft in Redmond, the Bellevue towers — are increasingly rail-reachable as Link expands, but many are still a rideshare or rental across 520 or I-90.
Getting to Costco Wholesale
For Costco Wholesale specifically, Issaquah, on Lake Drive points you toward a rideshare or rental to the Eastside — though Link is reaching more of Bellevue and Redmond.
