DIRECTIONS:

Driving: From Seattle go south on Interstate 5. From I-5 take exit 142B, which directs traffic west on S 348th (a continuation of westbound Highway 18). Continue west on S 348th across Pacific Highway S (Highway 99) and across 1st Ave S (NOTE: 348th becomes SW Campus Drive after crossing 1st Ave S). The pool is on the right about 1/2 mile past 1st Ave S.    We highly recommend the use of ride-sharing to utilize the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes on the freeway and in Federal Way which will save you time in traffic. Please offer rides to other participants when possible!

IGLA Shuttles: Shuttle service will be offered between downtown and Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic on a periodic basis during the competition days.   See www.igla2013.com for more details when they become available.

Public Transit: Sound Transit provides express bus service between downtown Seattle and the central Federal Way Park & Ride. There is a connecting shuttle service from the Park & Ride provided by Metro transit that serves the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic center. See the http://tripplanner.kingcounty.gov/  for more information on planning a public transit trip. Please note that service is not available during all competition times of IGLA 2013 but may be useful at times to supplement service provided by the IGLA shuttles.
