With a taxi or private transfer, the 150-km journey from Seattle Airport to Bellingham takes around 2 hours and costs $342 (€316), depending on traffic. Alternatively, the Seattle Airport to Bellingham bus, operated by Greyhound/FlixBus, involves a transfer at Bellingham WWU and takes approximately 3 hours and 10 minutes. Departing twice a day, the total cost for this journey is $25 (€23.30).
