Stay

Capitol Hill, Downtown Seattle, South Lake Union, and Central District are all close to the venue (15 minute drive, walkable, and public transit options). We recommend checking out AirBnBs in these neighborhoods first, then hotels.

Getting there

Flying

Fly into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

From the airport, take the Light Rail or call a Lyft/Uber to travel directly into the city.

Getting around

In addition to walking, driving, or using third-party transportation, the Seattle Light Rail and Streetcar are convenient ways to get around the city. Both options have stops in Pioneer Square (where our reception venue is located!), as well as Capitol Hill and the International District.
