Bothell is the north end’s quiet overachiever — a Main Street reborn around a hotel that used to be a schoolhouse, a university campus growing faster than anywhere in the state system, and business parks at Canyon Park and North Creek holding one of Washington’s densest life-science clusters, all with wine country starting at the city line. Door-to-door airport transportation to and from SeaTac at the same locked fare in both directions — from $110 per vehicle, I-5 or 405 read by the hour, tolls included, nine vehicle classes, 24/7.
Starting-from fares per vehicle — never per person — locked before booking, identical to and from the airport, tolls and airport fees included. Exact quote adjusts to your precise address.
Airport car service to and from SeaTac and Bothell (21–23 miles, 30–42 minutes) starts at $110 per vehicle for a standard sedan, $125 for a full size sedan, $160 for a luxury minivan, $195 for a luxury sedan or luxury SUV, $260 for a 10-passenger Ford van, $390 for a 14-passenger Sprinter, and $970 for a 24-passenger shuttle bus — with 25 to 55-passenger coaches by custom quote. Every fare is the same in both directions, locked before booking; 405 tolls, campus traffic, and flight delays never change it.

The Bothell run is a routing decision before it is anything else — I-5 to SR-522 through the north end, or I-405 up the Eastside with express toll lanes bought only when the clock says they pay. Dispatch makes that call live, and the fare holds either way. At the far end, the drops split by purpose: Main Street and the Anderson School for the visitors, the UW Bothell and Cascadia campus for move-ins and graduations, Canyon Park’s badge-gated life-science buildings for the Monday-morning site visits, and Woodinville’s tasting rooms starting minutes past the city line for everyone who planned the weekend right.
