Got a long layover? Get out of seatac on the light rail
Seattle's new light rail service can be used to get you from seatac to downtown seattle for around $10. Make sure you have at least a 3hr layover as it took me about 45 minutes each way. Beats the heck out of waiting around at seatac forever though.

45 Minutes each way? You must be kidding right.. I live in the North End (a few blocks from the city limit) and I can drive there and back faster then that during rush hour, and not break the speed limit doing so.
I think the idea is that if you can walk to the station, you don't have to pay to park at the airport. I work on the waterfront and can get there on 99 in about 15 minutes, speed is not a selling point. With the Mayor's new proposal to raise the parking tax from 10% to 12% you are better off parking at the airport than in Seattle.
Well one of the "bugs" as I remember was an idiot turning left in front of a train when there wasn't even a left to turn to.
Yeh, we get al ot of near misses with cars and pedestrians down on the waterfront too. People in areas where the light rail runs haven't gotten used to it yet.
