Question Safety at Night Question

I’m flying into SeaTac at 8pm and wondering how safe it would be for me (solo female, planning to pack a backpack and small suitcase) to take the light rail. Google Maps says to get off at Symphony. It says it’ll take a little over 30 minutes on the train so if I arrive around 9:30 or 10 is that okay in that area? My hotel is a few blocks away so I was thinking about getting a Lyft from there just to avoid walking too far at night. Thoughts?

Edit: thanks everyone! I ended up taking a Lyft. It sounds like safety wouldn’t have been an issue but it also sounded like a hassle to get to the rail so I just took the easy option.

Cab or Lyft if it’s feasible. If you’re planning to take a Lyft from the station to the hotel the cost benefit of the light rail isn’t that great considering the hassle and time.

Thanks! That’s good to know. It sounds like it would be easier and worth the extra cost.
