You can technically make it from Tukwila Amtrak to the airport with local buses (line F west to Tukwila International Boulevard Station - not the same as Tukwila (Amtrak) Station - then line A south to 176th St.), but it will be far less hassle and almost certainly faster to just take the one-seat ride on the light rail from International District Station, one block east of Seattle/King Street, to the airport. 31 minutes travel time and $3.00 fare.
