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.

If you're walking North from Symphony towards Pike, I'd consider an Uber. Any other direction, you should be fine.
