- <h2>Airport Directions</h2>
-
- <p>A taxi from SeaTac airport to <strong>Extraordinary Least
- Squares</strong> should cost $50-60 (with tip) and take about 30
- minutes — but might take <em>much</em> more with traffic. Mass
- transit requires one transfer, costs $2.75, and take about an
- hour.</p>
-
- <h3>Mass Transit Directions</h3>
-
- <p>At SeaTac airport, follow signs to ground transportation
- and to
- the <a href="http://www.soundtransit.org/rider-guide/link-light-rail">LINK
- light rail</a> which is located at the far left of the main
- terminal on the check-in level. At the light rail station,
- you can buy tickets
- and <a href="http://www.orcacard.com">ORCA cards</a> which
- are reusable on all Seattle-area mass transit. You can also
- buy a single-use paper ticket. If you buy an ORCA card, you
- will need to tap it on a yellow terminal both before you
- enter, and after you exit the train. The tapping areas are
- easy to find.</p>
-
- <p>Take the LINK train until the <strong>University
- Street</strong> station which take 36 minutes and stop at 11
- stops. At University Street, you will need to change to a bus to
- Fremont.</p>
-
- <p>The LINK station is underground and the buses to Fremont
- travel on the street above. In the station, walk in the
- direction of the train and go up the stairs to the north
- platform. Follow signs for an exit onto 3<sup>rd</sup>
- Avenue and University which should be to the left if you are
- facing the direction of the train Avenue. You should exit
- onto the east side of 3<sup>rd</sup> Avenue, walk north
- (again, the same direction of the train)
- to <strong>3<sup>rd</sup> Avenue and Union Street</strong>
- (one block up) and look for a large bus stop with several
- shelters with the following buses numbers written on
- it: <strong>40, 26, 28</strong>. These buses all come down
- 3<sup>rd</sup> Avenue frequently and should arrive within
- 10-15 minutes at almost any time except between midnight and
- 5:00am. You can install the free software phone application
- or view the website
- for <a href="http://pugetsound.onebusaway.org/">OneBusAway</a>
- for real-time data on bus arrivals.</p>
-
- <p>Take any <strong>40, 26, or 28</strong> bus <strong>North
- to Fremont</strong>. Tapping your ORCA card at bus entrance
- will register a "transfer" from the LINK and you will not be
- charged for the bus. Stay on the bus for about 20 minutes to
- the stop at <strong>FREMONT AVE and N 34TH ST</strong> which
- will be displayed on a digital display on the ceiling at the
- front of the bus.</p>
-
- <p>Take a right after immediately exiting the bus and take a
- left when you come to the intersection (Fremont Ave &
- 34<sup>th</sup>). Walk down 34<sup>th</sup> (you should pass
- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_the_Interurban">this
- sculpture of people waiting, usually dressed up</a>, on the
- other side of the street) as you walk toward, and then under, the
- enormous "Aurora" bridge and across Troll
- Avenue. <strong>Extraordinary Least Squares</strong> is in a
- building called <strong>St. James Tower</strong> on the
- left. </p>
-
- <p>The best way to get to our apartment is through the
- apartment's back door which means you will take a left on
- Troll Ave (up the hill) and then a right down the first
- alley you come to. You can follow the directions under
- "Visit Us" above. Call one of the proprietors when you have
- arrived outside.</p>
-
- <h2>Parking</h2>
-
- <p>Street parking is available around our building but be
- sure to read signs closely because our guests have been
- ticketed. The closest free street parking is on Troll
- Ave. It is two hour parking during the day but is
- unrestricted overnight and on Sundays. Parking on
- 35<sup>th</sup> is generally free except between 8pm and
- 12am and the signs can be hard to see. There are two
- self-serve pay lots on either side of the building in the
- alley between 34<sup>th</sup> and 35<sup>th</sup> but read
- the signs carefully before you park because some of the
- space is shared with businesses during the week. If you
- contact us well in advance, we might be able to get
- permission to use an unused spot within our building from
- the building manager.</p>
