Hi Elizabeth,
I'm in Seattle. Unfortunately the airport is not exactly by the water, and (like many airports) not a great spot to stay if you don't have to. How much time do you have before you leave for Vancouver?
Downtown Seattle is probably a 20 minute (not mile) drive. Many hotels offer shuttles and I think a taxi is about $25. My favorite little hotel downtown is the 'Inn at the Market'. Be sure and get a waterfront view. It is right in the Pike Place Market and is a little gem tucked in a beautiful spot.
You can also try the Marriott Seattle Waterfront, The Edgewater - both right on the water. If you don't need to be ON the water but would like a nice view - try the W, the Westin or the Grand Hyatt. Again request water facing rooms.
I hope you have a wonderful trip!!
Cheers!
Jody
