The Seattle Monorail was founded for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair and continues to be an iconic way of traveling from downtown to Seattle Center. Downtown Seattle is home to several popular Seattle attractions including the Space Needle.
Not only is the Seattle Monorail a totally cool way to get across downtown, it’s surprisingly fast. From 5th and Pine where you pick up the Monorail at the 74 acre Seattle Center, the entire journey takes only 90 seconds. Visitors to Seattle will definitely want to use the Seattle Monorail as it is fast and convenient to downtown Seattle.

The Monorail terminal is located on the 3rd floor of the Westlake Center between 5th and Pine sections. (For families looking for a cheap place to have lunch, there is a McDonalds on the second floor. )
Passengers must purchase their tickets from the ticket window before entering the waiting area. Riders have the option of purchasing a round-trip ticket for $4 or a one-way ticket for $2. Youth 5-12 are charged $1.50 for a round trip ticket. Be sure to have plenty of cash on hand as the Monorail ticket office will not accept credit.

How to get there from the ferries
After leaving our family car on Bainbridge Island, we transferred passengers to Seattle and walked the rest of the way to the Monorail Terminal.
The easiest way to get to the Monorail, unless you hike up and down a lot of steep hills, is to exit the ferry terminal via the pedestrian bridge that takes you across the Alaskan Highway and leads to 1st Street. He turned left on 1st Street and walked seven blocks to Pine. Turn right on Pine and walk another four blocks to the intersection of Pine & 5th We noticed that the signal lights for pedestrians were synchronized and walking at a normal clip, we reached the Monorail Terminal in about 15 minutes.
For those who are our aces, and the Ferry terminal and transportation have Seattle attraction brochures with many great deals, from $1 off for the Monorail. We were able to present a cheap ticket with 2 coupons that reduced the price of three round tickets from $12 to $10.
