Barb Wilson told me she had taken the SeaTac shuttle the other day, a service that I had overlooked.

Twice a day, I found out, the Wenatchee Valley Shuttle connects to the airport at SeaTac, leaving here at 6 a.m. and 3 p.m.; leaving SeaTac at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. for Wenatchee.

Monique Lott, who runs the business, says it has been running daily since April. About a quarter of her customers, she said, go to the Seattle area rather than the airport. Her buses run from Wenatchee’s Columbia Station, the Link Transit terminal.

There are other ways to get to the airport, of course. You could take the Amtrak to Seattle then another train to the airport. Bus service is available, too. But this new service appears to be filling a need.
