I was in Seattle in August and stayed at the Marriott Seattle Airport. This property, the Holiday Inn, and the Hilton are all very convenient to the light rail. As stated earlier, the Hilton is directy across the street from the SEA rail station and the Holiday Inn is next to the station. The Marriott is three blocks away (and up a hill). I walked to the station in the morning and it took five minutes. The ride to the Westlake station took about 40 minutes and it was a short five minute walk to the Westin.
