AFAIK, there is no rideshare, greyhound or train service to/from Darrington. There *MAY* be a rideshare driver in the area, but it's VERY doubtful. Considering your location, most drivers aren't going to drive out there due to the long commute to and from. (Approx 1 - 1.5 hrs each way from Everett) WAY too many dead miles. The closest taxi is probably in Arlington, but again, it's questionable if anyone will drive that far to pick you up.
Your options are limited to catching a Snohomish County Community Transit bus from Darrington to Arlington and then to Everett Transit Station at Smoky Point, then transferring to a bus headed to Seattle and catching the light rail from near UW to SEATAC. (That commute will take approx 5-6 hrs, one way, and you'd be limited to leaving Darrington on the 7:33 am bus. (the 7 pm bus departure would arrive too late)
Rideshare would be stupidly expensive. My "private" rate to pickup in Darrington and dropoff at SEATAC would be $150 on a Monday. (I live in Snohomish County, WA)
What would your rate be from Darington to Marysville? They can catch Airporter shuttle from Marysville.
Thank you. Ug. My girls are stuck in Darington and I'm still trying to figure out something for them. Appreciate the info.
If you are looking for what rideshare is available and an estimate on how much they are charging go to the free fare estimator here on ride guru. You can also click "offers" and may be able to find a code to use for cheaper first ride.
