How easy is to get to by air? Is it a do-able taxi ride from SEA-TAC?

How easy is to get to by air? Is it a do-able taxi ride from SEA-TAC?

The Expo location is very easy to get to from the airport. The Airporter is available for those wanting an easy and affordable option. For those taking public transit , once downtown you will board the Seattle/Bremerton ferry and when you get off the boat the Expo will be in the building on your right. One of the bus transfer stations for Kitsap Transit is also located right at the ferry terminal.
