Traveler advice
Getting around
Bus system is amazing here!
There are multiple bus stops close to us to make it so easy to get around.
Traveling with kids
Avoid Downtown if Possible
Especially if you have children, wandering downtown can be hit or miss with our homeless population. There is often open drug use and nudity. Stay close to the public market if you do choose to go downtown. That area is great!
Ways to save
Museums are free the first Thursday of the month!

What to pack
RAINCOATS AND RAIN BOOTS
It's Seattle. It rains sometimes. Go figure. We have umbrellas available but mostly no one uses them here.
