Transit Directions
ELS is easily accessible by a number of different transport options. We are located approximately two blocks (and less than a 5 minute walk) from the northern entrance to the Capitol Hill Link station which is the 1 Line. The train runs directly from Seattle/Tacoma Airport, Downtown Seattle, and the University of Washington (among other places). There are also a range of very good bus connections with King County Metro.
Bike Directions
The house is easily accessible by bicycle although Capitol Hill is a serious hill! Here are our best methods for minimizing the hills:
- If you are coming from the south, taking 12th Avenue to the Pike/Pine street area will minimize the grade.
- If you are coming from the University of Washington, cross the Montlake Bridge and 520 on the Lake Washington (East) side and then weave your way back to 25th Ave E. Take a quick right on Boyer, left on 24th, and right on Interlaken Blvd East. Interlaken Blvd will become a beautiful wooded bike path before intersecting with Interlaken Drive East. A left onto Interlaken Drive will get you almost to the top of the hill. At the end of Interlaken Drive, take a right on Galer Street, a left on 18th, and a right on Harrison, and then a left on Harvard will bring you the house.
- The Link light rail allows bikes! So you can take the train and an elevator to (almost) the top of the hill.
You can park on the street or contact us to bring your car into our garage which can be reached on the side of the house on Thomas Street.
