Travel Note
We recommend the shuttle service: "Bellair Charters" if you do not want to rent a car from SeaTac Airport! Getting off at the "Anacortes Shell" Stop would put you walking distance to hotel options in Anacortes. Also, you could probably ask your bus driver to stop at your specific hotel if it is on the same street (Commercial Ave).
Travel Note
For those who may want a bit more independence, or wish to explore Seattle (or other areas of WA), renting a car will be your best bet. We encourage our guests to explore carpooling with other guests attending!
Flight
This a less budget friendly, more "adventurous" opportunity, but you could take a flight directly into Friday Harbor for the Welcome Event on Friday, October 10th. You could then ride the Ferry back to Anacortes that night, attend the wedding on October 11th, and book a Bellair Shuttle back to Seatac Airport on Sunday. This would be aggressive, but a very special opportunity to see the Puget Sound islands from the air!
Hotel
Anacortes Inn is 0.6 miles away from our reception hall. This is a motel-style inn, and the rooms are nice (Colton took a little tour). Our wedding shuttle bus will make a stop at this hotel to pick up guests and drive them to the ceremony in Deception Pass State Park. To reserve with our group discount, go to www.anacortesinn.com and put in your dates. Under "Add Code", select "Promotion Code" and put in the code 'ISLAND'. This should get you a 20% discount. Feel free to also browse third-party booking sites (such a booking.com) to see if you can snag a better rate than this discount!
Discount Code - ISLAND
Hotel
This hotel is our most budget-friendly option! It is highly rated on google, and offers more basic accommodations than Majestic Inn or Anacortes Inn, at a lower price. The wedding shuttle will stop at Anacortes Inn, which is a 4 minute walk away, so you can easily stay at Marina Inn and just walk over to the pick-up spot! To reserve with our group discount, please call the front desk at (360) 293-1100, and give them our wedding group code (HEATH).

Hotel
There are many nice airbnb and VRBO options in Anacortes, WA. If you want to skip the hotels, we recommend getting a group together to look for spots along Commercial Avenue in downtown Anacortes, Washington, bonus points if the spot is walking distance from Majestic Inn and Spa or Anacortes Inn. This will make it easy for you to walk to our shuttle bus pick-up spots at these locations and get a ride to the ceremony at Deception Pass State Park. If you want to stay elsewhere on Fidalgo Island (the island where the town of Anacortes sits), that is totally fine! Just be aware that you will need to transport yourself to the shuttle pick-up locations on wedding day, and you'll need to get yourself home after the reception.
