When to reserve
Reserve ahead for holiday weeks, spring break, summer weekends and any early-morning departure. The lots are steps from the front door, so they're popular, and a full lot means scrambling for a ride.
Drop-off and pickup
- The curb is right in front of the terminal, so drop-offs are quick.
- For pickups, have your driver wait nearby until you're outside with your bags. The curb is short and not meant for waiting.
- Rideshare (Uber and Lyft) works here. Request after you've collected your bags; drivers coming from Everett or Mukilteo usually arrive fast.
Cheaper alternatives
- Park, stay and fly. Some nearby hotels bundle parking with a night's stay. Worth checking for early flights. See hotels near PAE.
- Rideshare both ways. For a short trip from Everett, Mukilteo or Lynnwood, two rides can cost less than several days of parking.
- Get dropped off. The easy curb makes this the simplest option of all.
