Travel
Our venue is at Point Defiance, Tacoma, Washington. Tacoma is a medium-sized city with lots of accommodations. Please don't hesitate to reach out to Laura or Brian with any questions!
Washington is a phenomenal destination - consider extending your visit! Tacoma is home to great restaurants, museums, and the world class Chambers Bay Golf Course. Tacoma is also 40min from Seattle, 1hr 20 min from Mount Rainier National Park, and 2hr 20min from Olympic National Park.
Other notable Washington locations include the Olympic Peninsula, the San Juan Islands (we love Orcas Island!), Bellingham, and North Cascades National Park. You could also explore British Columbia, only 2.5 hrs north of Seattle!
NOTE: Are you driving up from Portland, Oregon? Please be aware that a portion of I-5 is planned to be shut down in September (ugh). More info here: https://www.i5rosequarter.org/current-construction-travel-impacts/. Plan for extra travel time!
Flight
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)
Sea-Tac Airport is about 40 minutes from our venue and the most convenient option. If you want to explore more of the PNW, you could also consider flying into Portland International Airport (PDX) and spending time in Oregon before driving north. Portland, Oregon is about 2 hr 16 m from our venue. BUT please see above note about I-5 closures; PDX is also smaller than Sea-Tac, so prices may be less affordable.
