Just landed at SeaTac International? Seattle Cannabis Co is one Light Rail line away — 25 minutes north to Othello Station, then a 5-minute walk up Rainier Ave. The closest neighborhood cannabis shop to the airport, in the heart of Rainier Valley.
Light Rail from the airport
The 1 Line (formerly Central Link) runs from SeaTac/Airport Station to downtown Seattle and through Rainier Valley. From the SeaTac terminal, follow the signs for Light Rail — the station is connected to the airport via the parking garage, about a 5-minute walk from baggage claim.
- SeaTac/Airport Station → Othello Station — 6 stops, about 20 minutes.
- Othello Station → 7266 Rainier Ave S — 5 minutes on foot, straight north up Rainier Ave.
Total door-to-door from baggage claim is 30-35 minutes if you don't dawdle.
The 1 Line runs every 8-12 minutes during the day and every 15 minutes evenings. Last northbound train from SeaTac departs around 12:30 AM.
Driving from SeaTac
If you're picking up a rental:
- Via I-5 north: about 20 minutes to Rainier Ave exit, then surface streets to 7266 Rainier Ave S. Quickest.
- Via MLK Jr Way S: about 25 minutes, scenic-ish through the Rainier Valley.
Free parking out front — no parking-meter scramble.
Hours that matter for an arrival
- Open daily 8 AM to 11 PM.
- Pickup orders — last online order is 15 minutes before close.
If your flight lands at 9 PM and you're hungry to grab something on the way to your hotel, you have time.
What to bring
- Valid 21+ photo ID. Washington accepts out-of-state driver's licenses, US passports, US passport cards, military IDs, and Tribal IDs. International passports work too. Expired IDs do not.
- Cash. Every Washington dispensary is cash-only — federal law prevents the major card networks from processing for cannabis. ATM in the lobby ($3 surcharge typical).
- A reusable bag is convenient but not required.
What travelers most often pick up
Visitors landing at SeaTac usually fall into two patterns at the counter:
- Hotel-room evening — pre-rolls (single or 5-pack), low-dose gummies (2.5 or 5 mg), small flower (eighths). Easy to dose, easy to travel within Washington.
- Multi-day stay / Airbnb — flower (eighths to quarters), edibles (10-piece packs), maybe a vape cartridge if they have a battery or pick up a disposable.
Worth knowing if you're new to a Washington dispensary: ask the budtender. Our first-time customer guide walks the door-to-bag experience. We'd rather have you ten minutes at the counter than guessing on the hotel-room couch.
Critical legal stuff
- Don't fly with it. Cannabis is federally illegal — TSA can technically refer to local law enforcement, and even though Seattle is a no-prosecute jurisdiction, you absolutely cannot board a plane with cannabis. Consume in Washington, leave it in Washington.
- Don't drive impaired. Cannabis DUI is the same as alcohol DUI under Washington law. Light Rail and Lyft/Uber are widely available.
- No consumption in public. Hotel rooms with smoke-free policies are off-limits for smoking; vape pens are quieter and lower-odor for that exact reason. Edibles are the most discreet option.
- No consumption on the dispensary property. The exit bag is for transport, not for use in the parking lot.
About the shop
Seattle Cannabis Co has been on Rainier Ave since 2018 — same neighborhood, same staff. The original shop opened in 2010, before Washington recreational cannabis was a thing (we're one of the oldest cannabis retail operations in the state). The Rainier Valley location is where we live now.
Worth a side-trip
Out the door at SCC, you're in Rainier Valley — the most diverse zip code in America for years running, world-class food, and a five-minute walk in any direction is a different cuisine.
Worth a stop on the way to or from us:
- Othello International Market — a few blocks from the Light Rail station.
- Big Chickie or Tutta Bella — Hillman City, 5 min south.
- Seward Park — 7 min east, Lake Washington loop.
- Columbia City Theater + the Columbia City restaurants — 5 min north.
Welcome to Seattle. See you in 30.
