We recommend looking for an airbnb. There are so many great neighbors in Seattle to explore, and everything is easily accessible via bus, ride share (ReachNow or Car2Go), and Uber or Lyft. Neighbors to consider staying in: Ballard, Fremont, Queen Anne, Belltown or West Seattle (that's where we live!).
Hotel Ballard is located in one of our favorite neighborhoods and only a few miles from the venue.
This Staybridge is located in the neighborhood of Fremont, a super cute and walkable neighborhood. There are tons of restaurants and shops to explore, and a nice trail along the canal. Fremont is less than 5 miles from the venue,
Seattle Marriott Waterfront is located downtown, walking distance to Pikes Place Market and a quick Lyft ride away from the venue.
