Because our wedding is taking place over Labor
Day weekend, please make sure to reserve your rooms as soon as possible.
Labor Day weekend is a busy time in Seattle. Please let us know if you experience any difficulty making your
reservation. The rooms were reserved at a special group rate, and we can
always add rooms to the block if necessary. In order to take advantage of
the group rate, let the hotel know your reservation is with the
Kaplan-Pattee wedding. Once you've booked your hotel, please send Rebecca Kaplan an e-mail so that we know where our guests are staying and can distribute guest bags, etc accordingly. Also, on a final note, the hotels listed below are only suggestions. You are more than welcome to book a hotel room elsewhere. Hotels in the downtown Seattle area tend to be the most expensive. If you don't mind driving a little ways, check out of the suburban areas, where rates tend to be dramatically lower. |

From the airport, Gray Line's Airport Express
and Shuttle Express both offer inexpensive rides to and from Seattle's major
downtown hotels. Also check with your hotel to see if they provide free airport
transportation. Taxis are another option, although not the cheapest. There are
plenty of car rental agencies at the airport as well. Be sure to check with your
hotel if parking is included in the cost of your stay.
Metro Transit buses blanket the metropolitan area, and are a cheap and efficient
way to get around Seattle. In the immediate downtown area, all bus rides are
free from 6am to 7pm.
Seattle Trolley Tours make for great downtown transportation. Visitors are encouraged to get off and on at leisure, and tickets are good for a full day. Stops include the Space Needle, Pike Place, Waterfront, Pioneer Square, International District, Kingdome, and Seattle Art Museum.
For trips outside the city limits, the
Washington State Ferry system is a scenic way to get around. The views of the
city from out on the Sound are tops, making a ride on a sunny day worth taking
whether you need to get anywhere or not. Ferries leave from the piers along the
Alaskan Way Waterfront.
