I don't know because I live in So Wash, maybe ant or Jeff can help.
I don't know the area at all, but prayers for you and your brother.
You might try searching on the internet or if you can't get the info before you leave, usually in most airports they have info on shuttles, that could take you to Kirkland.
I found that Kirkland is about 20 min from Seattle.
You can take the Super Shuttle.....go to the transportation area up the escalator and there it will be. What hospital is in Kirkland?
Hi there. I'm in Seattle and travel fairly often. I take the shuttle express. No problems yet. They go all over the area.

There is great bus system all over the AREA.
http://transit.metrokc.gov/ has an online route planner. Or better may be to put their number in your cell phone and call them after you get your bags. You get a route in real time, and they are really great this way.
Thanks for the prayers and I appreciate any and all help.
I guess living near Atlanta and knowing that our public transportation gets more limited whenever you leave the metro areas, just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't have any problems relying on public transport.
Prayers from Arizona!
He is in Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland Washington.
Thank you for the information c-five. I am putting the number in my cell phone and bookmarking the link.

I would be available to drive you anywhere - almost anytime. I'm retired. I have a 2nd car which may be available - depending on your needs.
Freepmail me - I will check tomorrow morning first thing.
Cheers and luck!!! Hardstarboard.
Thats on a very good day!!!
I never heard of it....sorry. Prayers for your brother. When are you going?
Thank you, again. I was able to put in the addresses and found the route to get on and the necessary transfers. It looks simple enough.
You guys are wonderful!
My brother wants me to wait until he has more info on Monday, he is stable now and thinks the worst will come on Monday when they (possibly) start the chemo. Doctors have told him that it will be rough going because one-half of his heart has shut down.
They have done tests and his arteries are fine they think the heart failure is connected to the lymphoma and want to start chemo very quickly to save his heart.
I was not trying to ignore you. Thank you so much for your offer of help.
I think that I can manage to make it to the hospital via a shuttle and can probably use my brother's car, but probably will not do a lot of driving as I really do not know the area.
I will send you a freepmail in just a moment.
Thank you for your offer of help.
Sincere prayers for both of you and yours.
