Getting Here:
Seattle NorthCountry is comprised of more than 2,000 square miles of land tucked between the Salish Sea and the Cascade Mountains, just 15 minutes north of Seattle proper.
Your best bet is to fly into Seattle Paine Field International Airport (PAE), an award-winning boutique airport. It has three terminals, a luxury bar and deli, and a well-appointed lounge with leather furniture and floor-to-ceiling windows. It is easy to navigate and offers easy, simple access to the Greater Seattle Area and the Pacific Northwest. This is traveling in style.
You can also drive here easily enough via Interstate 5 or U.S. Route 2 – two interstate roadways that converge in the middle of the county.
