Option 2: The Most Relaxing

• Fly into Seattle (SEA-TAC)

• Take a short shuttle or rideshare to:
  Seattle/Boeing Field (BFI)

Finding the Shuttle

• Head to baggage claim

• Exit near carousel 2

• Look for the “Airporter” shuttle just past the smoking area

• It is a large white van labeled “Kenmore Air”

Next Step

From there, board a Kenmore Air seaplane to Eastsound, Orcas Island.
