Hotel
The Lodge at St. Edward State Park
This is the hotel where our wedding ceremony, reception, and family brunch will be taking place! It's a super nice spot with great PNW views. We have a room block reserved (room costs not covered by bride and groom). If you are thinking of staying here, reach out to Molly to see if you should book yourself or through the room block.
Hotel
McMenamins Anderson School
McMenamin's Anderson School is another great hotel option, especially if you are looking for a cute and fun hotel experience with a lot of coffee shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance. It is about a 20 minute drive from the wedding venue.
Hotel
Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Bothell, WA
This is a cheaper but still nice hotel option about a 20-25 minute drive away from the wedding venue.
House Or Rental
Airbnb
The area surrounding the wedding venue has a lot of awesome, unique neighborhoods. If none of the hotel options are your vibe, we recommend renting an airbnb in either the Kirkland and Kenmore areas.
Flight
Seattle Tacoma International Airport (SEA)
Sea-Tac will definitely be your best bet for booking flights into the Seattle area if you are coming from the midwest or east coast. The wedding venue is a good distance away from both Sea-Tac and the downtown Seattle area, so we highly recommend planning on getting a rental car for the trip.
Flight
Paine Field Airport (PAE)
Paine Field (PAE) is a great airport option for our guests coming from the west coast/Arizona. Paine has direct flights to San Francisco, Phoenix, and Tucson, and is much closer to the wedding venue than Sea-Tac. It's also much smaller and easier to navigate. The one downside is there are only a couple of rental car options on-site. We do highly recommend getting a rental car for this trip to get to and from the airport, the wedding venue, and other fun travel/tourist things.
