Seattle is a wonderful city to visit without a car. I know because I have one, and most days, I decide to leave it at home – especially on the days I’m traveling all over town.

The city’s ample and far-reaching transportation options make it easy to explore, even if you wind up in a neighborhood you weren’t expecting to. You don’t have to budget time or money for parking. Kids 18 and under ride our transit systems for free. And let’s be real: you want to try Seattle’s iconic transportation options while you’re here anyway, from the monorail to our state ferries and seaplanes.

I’m a Seattle transit rider and transportation nerd. Here are my recommendations for visitors without cars.
