Airport Directions
-
-
A taxi from SeaTac airport to Extraordinary Least
- Squares should cost $50-60 (with tip) and take about 30
- minutes â but might take much more with traffic. Mass
- transit requires one transfer, costs $2.75, and take about an
- hour.
-
-
Mass Transit Directions
-
-
At SeaTac airport, follow signs to ground transportation
- and to
- the LINK
- light rail 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 ORCA cards 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 terminal at the airport station
- is before the ticket machines, so you will need to backtrack slightly
- to tap your card if you buy it at the airport.
-
-
Take the LINK train until the University
- Street station which take 36 minutes and stop at 11
- stops. At University Street, you will need to change to a bus to
- Fremont. Note there is no cellular network in the
- University Street station, so you may want to get a copy of these
- directions before you arrive there.
-
-
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 3rd
- 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 3rd Avenue, walk north
- (again, the same direction of the train)
- to 3rd Avenue and Union Street
- (one block up) and look for a large bus stop with several
- shelters with the following buses numbers written on
- it: 40, 26, 28. These buses all come down
- 3rd 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 OneBusAway
- for real-time data on bus arrivals.
-
-
Take any 40, 26, or 28 bus North
- to Fremont. 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 FREMONT AVE and N 34TH ST which
- will be displayed on a digital display on the ceiling at the
- front of the bus.
-
-
Take a right after immediately exiting the bus and take a
- left when you come to the intersection (Fremont Ave &
- 34th). Walk down 34th (you should pass
- this
- sculpture of people waiting, usually dressed up, on the
- other side of the street) as you walk toward, and then under, the
- enormous "Aurora" bridge and across Troll
- Avenue. Extraordinary Least Squares is in a
- building called St. James Tower on the
- left.
-
-
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.
-
-
Parking
-
-
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
- 35th 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 34th and 35th 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.

ELS is easily accessible by a number of different transport options. The King County Metro Route 10 bus runs directly between us and downtown with a stop at the Capitol Hill Link station. Alternatively, it's a 15-20 minute walk from the Link station to the house.
-
+
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 Aloha 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 and a left on 17th Ave E which will take you to Aloha and to our house.
+ - The Link light rail allows bikes will allow you to take the train and an elevator to (almost) the top of the hill.
