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.
