Annie and Andrew

We recommend flying into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). From Sea-tac, you have many options to get to downtown Seattle: Light Rail, rideshare, carpool with other wedding guests, or car rental. 

We don't have hotel blocks reserved to give everyone maximum flexibility. Below are a few hotels which we think would be fun to stay in or are conveniently located close to our venue. 

There are also plenty of AirBnB/VRBO options in Seattle, but these will book up fast for the summer! If you'd like our opinion on where to stay in Seattle, feel free to reach out!

Located right next to the Space Needle, with reasonable rates.  If you want to bus to the venue you can take the 28 Express and walk 0.2 miles.

 Hyatt Place Seattle/Downtown

Located in the U-District with an amazing rooftop bar! It is also located near a light rail station, so you'd have easy access to/from the airport and downtown attractions. If you want to bus to the venue you can take the 31 local and walk 0.3 miles. 

Graduate Seattle

Fancy! Waterfront views, close to downtown and tourist attractions. If you want to bus to the venue you can take the 5 local and walk 0.4 miles.

The Edgewater Hotel

Decent rates, no frills and 0.3 miles from the venue!

Local seafood fast food joint Ivar's cleans up real nice with a sit down, fine dining experience on Lake Union about a mile from the venue. Of course they also have a walk up fish 'n chips window if that's more your speed.

401 NE Northlake Way, Seattle, WA 98105

The iconic 1950s Seattle drive-in burger joint, can't go wrong with a Deluxe, fries, and a shake. They have locations all over the city.

A reliable early date spot for Andrew and Annie, this is a great place for a drink or dinner on a nice day - cool wood architecture and lots of light. 

7110 East Green Lake Dr N, Seattle, WA 98115

A favorite spot near us that brews almost exclusively hazy IPAs.  There is a rotating food truck there every day during dinner time that is always fantastic. 

5408 26th Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98105

If you like Cuban sandwiches and pretending to be on the beach then come sit in the sand at the repurposed gas station and order a beer from the tiki bar while you wait. 

6501 Aurora Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103

Good food, a solid beer list and a gorgeous view of Lake Union on a sunny day!

2947 Eastlake Ave E, Seattle, WA 98102

Bale Breaker is Andrew's favorite beer (try the Top Cutter IPA)  and the location puts you in one of the great craft beer districts in America in the Ballard neighborhood. Really we could have put Reuben's, Stoup, Lucky Envelope or about 5 others, all within 2 blocks or so. Most have food trucks if you're hungry. 

Right down the street from us, this cozy tavern has 18 beers on tap and great food. If you want a quiet dinner, this cave under the bookstore is the spot for you.

6504 20th Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98115

The best Hawaiian breakfast in town. Whether you like your Loco Moco or more traditional breakfast food, this is a great spot. 

8501 5th Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98115

This critically acclaimed restaurant has good seafood among other things, as well as a great cocktail menu. 

3506 Stone Way N, Seattle, WA 98103

This old school lounge is a great place for dinner in the neighborhood Andrew grew up in. 

Our first run

Check out this grumpy resident of the Aurora Bridge, complete with '60s Volkswagon snack!

This set of locks maintained by the Army Corps of Engineers gets boats between Lake Washington/Lake Union and sea level. There's a nice set of gardens you can walk through as well as a salmon ladder. 

3015 NW 54th St, Seattle, WA 98107

The Space Needle is always worth a trip but the views from the Columbia Tower are sneakily better. It's the tallest building in the city and worth a look around from 73 stories up. There's a bar at the top too!

700 4th Ave, Seattle, WA 98104

These two iconic Seattle landmarks are right next to each other and both worth checking out. The Space Needle was made for the 1962 World's Fair and just had some glass floors installed. Dale Chihuly is a Seattle resident and world renowned glass artist. 

305 Harrison St, Seattle, WA 98109

When a fire destroyed a large part of Seattle in 1889, the current streets were built up above the ruins. This tour takes you underneath to see the spooky street beneath the city.

Washington has the largest state-run ferry system in the US! For a quick trip, you can walk on at Colman Dock downtown and take the boat to Bainbridge Island, which has a set of shops and restaurants walking distance from the dock on the other side.
