Where to Stay When Visiting Expedia Group (Seattle)
Expedia Group's headquarters is in the Interbay waterfront. The city core rides the Link; the Eastside is across the lake. Which side your campus is on decides the trip.
Expedia Group is an online-travel company (Expedia, Hotels.com, Vrbo), headquartered at 1111 Expedia Group Way W, Seattle, WA 98119. That's downtown Seattle and South Lake Union — the retail-and-finance core (Nordstrom, Zillow, F5, Expeditors) and, just north, Amazon's dense South Lake Union campus, connected by the SLU streetcar and the Link.
“Expedia — fittingly — is worth booking well for. Its waterfront campus is northwest of downtown; stay downtown or in Interbay and drive or rideshare over.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Which airport — and how far?
Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA) is the airport — about 20–30 minutes south, and the Link 1 Line light rail runs from the terminal into downtown for a couple of dollars. One airport, so no choice to make; downtown and South Lake Union are walkable and transit-served, with the SLU streetcar linking them.
