Don't bother renting a car
Seattle's traffic is every bit as bad as advertised and parking can be an absolute pain. Luckily, Seattle has dramatically improved options for getting around. Here are a few options:
1. Rent a bike: There are several companies that offer traditional and electric bike rentals, often for as little as $1 per 30 minutes.
2. Take transit: Our bus and light rail system is in the middle of a massive expansion and can get you just about anywhere.
3. Sign up for a car share: Car 2 Go and ReachNow allow you the freedom of car travel without having to pay for time you don't use or worry about paying for parking.
Bring a packable rain coat
While it's not quite true that "no Seattleites use umbrellas", it is smart to bring a light raincoat. While the summers are reliably dry, the other nine months of the year are highly likely to get rain. Your best bet is bringing a rain coat that is easily packable, as you're unlikely to need it all day.
Download some mobility apps
Here are a few apps that will help you navigate Seattle: 1. OneBusAway: Real-time transit schedules; 2.
