BY CAR
From I-5:
If coming from North Seattle, take Exit 167 / Mercer Street (just before Downtown Seattle).
If coming from South Seattle take Exit 167 / Mercer Street. It is after the I-90 exit; however the exit is on the LEFT side of the freeway.
At this point, the directions to the new Seattle Cruise Ship Terminal are the same.
- Take Exit 167 / Mercer Street
- >Turn right onto Fairview Ave (get ready to take a left)
- <Turn left on Valley St.
