Vanpool
A vanpool is a group of 5 or more people who share the ride to work in a vehicle provided by the county. Everyone in the group pays a monthly fare based on mileage, number of riders, and the size of the van.
Vanpools are eligible to park in the SEA Airport Parking Garage for only $50 a year! The vanpool needs to be registered with the Employee Parking Office to take advantage of this perk.
