Get in[edit]
By plane[edit]
Burlington does not have an airport with commercial service. You must fly into one of these airports and drive or take a bus to Burlington:
- Bellingham International Airport: closest airport with commercial service to Burlington but has limited connections. See Bellingham#Get in for more details. Get to Burlington by going south from the airport on I-5.
- Seattle International Airport: South of Seattle, this is the closest main airport. To get to Burlington from the airport, go north on I-5 for about 80 miles to Burlington. See Seattle#Get in for details.
- Vancouver International Airport: Although it lies across the international border, the airport really isn't that far and can be useful in some occasions. See Vancouver#Get in for details.
By car[edit]
Burlington lies at the intersection of WA-20 and I-5.
- From Seattle, take I-5 north about 65 miles (a little more than an hour without traffic) to Burlington.
- From Vancouver take BC-99 and I-5 south for about 80 miles to Burlington.
- From Eastern Washington: in summer you can take SR-20 (the North Cascades Hwy) across from the Methow Valley area, in winter WA-20 is closed and you must take US-2 or I-90 to the Puget sound area and then drive north to Burlington.
