Travel Planning
If you are planning on flying into SEATAC Airport, realize that Naval Station Everett (a.k.a., the Base) is about 45 miles north of the airport and the Smokey Point Navy Support Complex is 11 miles north of the Base. It is strongly recommended that you make local transportation arrangements through your sponsor, gaining command or commercial means before arriving at SEATAC Airport. For ground transportation services, click here. If you arrive at SEATAC Airport and have no transportation arrangements and cannot pay for transportation, please visit the USO on the second deck of the main terminal of the SEATAC airport for assistance. This is a full service USO, with showers, sleeping area, lounge, computer/internet, food, reading material and more.
If you have not been assigned a sponsor, you should contact your future command Sponsor Coordinator. This information should be on your orders. Having a sponsor can make this relocation experience less stressful plus they can provide you with information specific to you and your family's needs.
