Lodging
To be honest, the venue the night of the welcome party (The Ballard Bathhouse) and the venue the night of our celebration (The Georgetown Ballroom) are about a 25 minute drive apart in the city. We recommend getting an Airbnb in one of the bustling neighborhoods close to downtown, such as Belltown, Capitol Hill, lower-Queen Anne, or Fremont. Seattle is a very neighborhood-oriented city, each offering its own unique flavor.
If hotels are more your thing, we recommend The Georgetown Inn or the Silver Cloud Hotel (either in Capitol Hill or the one by the stadium).
