How to get from King street station (Seattle) to Seattle Center?

All Metro buses in Seattle have wheelchair ramps so you can use the bus. From King Street Station use the elevator to get up to street level and go east to 4th Ave S and cross to the east side of the street and walk to the bus stop: http://goo.gl/maps/blsXZ Catch pretty much any bus - just ask if the bus goes to Westlake Center.

Ask the driver to tell you when you get to the closest stop to Westlake center. It will probably be a block or two away. After going inside Westlake Center take the elevator up to the top floor and take the Monorail to the Seattle center: http://www.squidoo.com/seattle-monorail From the monorail terminal it is a short easy walk to the entrance of the Pacific Science Center.

Another option is to go to the north entrance of King Street Station on Jackson street and walk about one block further east to 5th Ave S and Jackson St to the International district light/rail bus tunnel entrance: http://www.soundtransit.org/Rider-Guide/Internatio... and use the elevator down into the tunnel to take either a northbound bus or light rail: http://www.soundtransit.org/Schedules/Central-Link... and get off at Westlake Station right under Westlake Center and take the elevator to the top floor to the monorail station. The advantage to this option is that you won't need to walk a block or two after you get off a bus to get to Westlake Center.

Westlake Station Seattle

It seems to me that a bus would be easier for a wheelchair user than a cab.

You need to get up to 5th ave from the Amtrak station,. It's only like 2 blocks, but it is up hill. Walk up Jackson to 5th. Now you get to explore the elevators, tunnels, and public transit of Seattle.

Go down into the bus tunnel, on the side closer to 5th, Get on ANY bus at all. They all go to Westlake.

Get off the bus at Westlake Center Station, and start taking elevators up. All the way to the top floor of the mall.

Now buy a ticket and get on the monorail to Seattle Center. And voila, you have arrived at Seattle Center.

Amtrak King Street Station

That's probably about right for a parking garage. There are surface lots that you could use for more like $10-12 a day, but I wouldn't recommend it in that part of town. Personally, depending on where you are coming from, I'd take the bus or a cab. Whatever you decide, I hope you have a great time in Vancouver...the train ride is very scenic!

There are buses that go up to Westlake Center, where one can board the monorail to the Seattle Center (but not near the King Tut exhibit) so still thousand(s) of feet to navigate.

>> Considering the wheelchair, take a cab, and get let off real close.

EDIT: Let us know how all of that jockeying for the buses and monorail go, plus the time, plus the distance to the King Tut exhibit, since I got 5 thumbs down (for my abbreviated answer, and cab suggestion). - - a van cab with a lift would be better than a regular cab.

The monorail will let you off near the Space Needle, which AS I SAID is not that close to the Seattle Science Center. [ I am yelling at those who gave me thumbs down They hurt my pride. I went to the world's fair as a lad. ] Some of the sidewalks are (or at least were) made of cobblestone.

Admittedly, I have not been on the monorail for decades, and the King Tut exhibit may not be exactly where it was 35+ years ago when I went; but those artifacts all in gold and jewels are well worth the effort to see.

ALL seattle buses have Wheelchair Ramps or Lifts
