Getting Around
Burien TC station
14900 4th Ave SWThis is a good place to check. Enterprise will pick you up and drop you off (except not at the airport) Check the prices at the airport and compare with Burien Enterprise. If they are significantly cheaper, you could take an Uber or a LYFT from the airport to our place (or to Enterprise) and get your car there. It takes extra time -- so the savings needs to be worth it but I always check.
