public transit question

Myself and my girlfriend are considering attending PAX this year, and are trying to figure out if we can afford it.
One of the questions is renting a car. We're likely going to have to fly in because a supertrip isn't an option for us.
The first question is, does anyone have advice on the Seattle public transit system? We'll likely be staying near the airport and it's something like 14 miles to the convention center from there, but we'd have a day or two to figure out how to get around (we're either getting in Wed. or Thursday depending on costs).
Is public transit an option for us? Any advice would be appreciated.

You can use the trip planer there to see how long it would take, but why are you staying so far away from pax?
transit problem solved . . . :P
{Fondly remembers the PAXTrain}
Route 194 - faster, but doesn't run late nights; also will get caught by I-5 construction
Route 174 - slower, more stops, but runs 24/7 (although still few buses overnight)
This is still not the most convenient option, though it's certainly cheaper than car + parking.
If you stay in Sea-Tac near the airport, the buses to downtown are 194 and 174 like causabon mentioned. The 194 is express and only runs until around 8:00 p.m. The 174 takes a longer route to get to downtown and it's kind of shady the later it gets. Both routes only cost $1.25. A taxi to downtown is $28.
