Robotaxis in Seattle
Seattle does not have a public driverless ride yet. Their guide first. We do not book.
Waymo has tested here since September 2025, still with safety drivers aboard.
Waymo testing
Waymo has tested in Seattle since September 2025 with safety drivers aboard and no published timetable for public rides. A test car with a driver is further from service than an employee-only driverless fleet, so expect the other testing metros to open first.
No robotaxi service in the metro means no robotaxi airport.
Checked 2026-09-09. A ride is about 30 minutes, not a car for the day. One or two hops inside the geofence often beat a desk day rate once parking and charging count. Stack four and the rental wins. Fare shapes, not a quote.
A rental wins Everything today: Rainier, Leavenworth, the Olympics were always rental territory.

What is actually on the road
Waymo has tested in Seattle since September 2025 with safety drivers aboard and no published timetable for public rides. A test car with a driver is further from service than an employee-only driverless fleet, so expect the other testing metros to open first.
The airport leg
Where the geofence ends
No public geofence, and the peninsula and passes would sit outside one regardless.
Where a rental still wins
Everything today: Rainier, Leavenworth, the Olympics were always rental territory.
Statuses checked 2026-09-09 against the operators' own city lists. Robotaxi facts age faster than the rest of the site: geofences grow, airports change their rules, and a free pilot starts charging. The operator app is ground truth · treat this page as the map, not the territory.
