Getting to Seattle by Air, Rail or Road

If you teach in Capitol Hill, Ballard or Fremont, you sleep in your own bed all weekend. From anywhere else in the region, pick your route below.

  • Flying into Sea-Tac (SEA). Alaska and Delta both hub there. The Link 1 Line runs from the airport to Westlake downtown in 38 minutes, with a train every 8 to 10 minutes most of the day.
  • Paine Field (PAE). The smaller airport, up in Everett. Alaska flies a short West Coast list there, Phoenix and Portland included.
  • From the Eastside. The 2 Line crosses the lake on the I-90 floating bridge, about 20 minutes from downtown Bellevue to the International District.
  • Late August weather. Highs in the mid 70s and nights in the high 50s, with about an inch of rain all month. Pack layers and a light rain shell, and check AirNow.gov that week for wildfire smoke.
  • A spare afternoon. The coho run through the fish ladder at the Ballard Locks, and the Green Lake loop is 2.8 miles of flat path.

Coming From Across the Pacific Northwest

Seattle is our first training in the Pacific Northwest, so it is the one date in reach for yoga teachers across Washington State and its neighbors. Here is the trip from each.

Tacoma and Bainbridge Island

Tacoma is an Amtrak Cascades stop, and I-5 runs straight up into the city.

From Bainbridge Island, the Washington State Ferries crossing to downtown Seattle takes 35 minutes.

Vancouver and Southwest Washington

Vancouver has its own Amtrak Cascades stop, so there is no need to cross the river to Portland first. I-5 runs north from there too.

Spokane and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

Drive I-90 the whole way, over Snoqualmie Pass. Or fly: Alaska runs Spokane (GEG) to SEA nonstop in about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Coeur d'Alene sits about 30 miles east of Spokane, so the same airport works for North Idaho.

Portland and the Willamette Valley

Amtrak Cascades starts in Eugene and stops at Albany, Salem and Oregon City before Portland's Union Station. From there it is about 3.5 hours to King Street Station, with several trains a day.

Flying instead? Alaska and Delta run PDX to SEA nonstop, and the MAX Red Line gets you from downtown Portland to PDX in about 40 minutes.

Bend, Hood River and the Gorge

From Central Oregon, Alaska and Delta both fly Redmond (RDM) to SEA nonstop, which beats driving over the Cascades.

From Hood River, take I-84 west through the Gorge to Portland and pick up the train or I-5 there.

Vancouver, British Columbia

Amtrak Cascades runs between Vancouver and Seattle, so teachers in British Columbia can ride the same line south into King Street Station.

What Our Graduates Say

Matthew Seibert, Liquid Breathwork certification graduate

Matthew Seibert - Healing practitioner, LBW graduate

“One of the things that really stood out for me during the training was a lot of the hands-on practice that we got, all the reps. It helped me feel more prepared and more confident in my ability to facilitate Breathwork on my own.”

He chose Liquid Breathwork after comparing several certification programs, and now brings Breathwork into the healing work he already does.

Sisily Chevalier, Liquid Breathwork facilitator

Sisily Chevalier - Owner of Body by Sisily, LBW facilitator

“So grateful for both of you, Ryan and Shelby. You’re changing my life right as we speak ... the ladies both booked for next week for paid sessions.”

After getting certified she had paid one-on-ones and a group session booked in Santa Clarita.

Krystal, Liquid Breathwork facilitator

Krystal - Realtor, nurse, LBW facilitator

“I was really looking for something that was more gentle, more supportive ... and Liquid Breathwork delivered just that.”

She arrived a beginner, after one Breathwork class elsewhere that felt like a lot. She left certain that everything we need is already within us.

“The training gave me the confidence to speak with knowledge about breathwork ... the experiencer is put more at ease and able to go deeper knowing that what is happening is normal and ok.”

He has run a class or two every month since April under his own brand.

Brittany Prince guiding a Breathwork class

Brittany Prince - LBW facilitator, owner of Awakened Prana

“The group calls are supportive and range from business growth to breaking down student’s teachings for feedback.”

Weekly classes, held so consistently that three of her breathers came and got certified in Liquid Breathwork too.
