It is very important to book early. The

Both hotels are within easy walking distance (10 minutes or less) of
the campus
as well as to stores and restaurants in the U-District. It is an easy
trip (by
car or bus) downtown and to other tourist sites in Seattle.
(See the hotel websites for more information.) The Watertown
is a new hotel and very nice. The University Inn is right nearby and
also quite
comfortable.
The nearest airport is Sea-Tac
International, about 18 miles south of the
University. Transportation to the University District is provided by
several
shuttle companies at the airport. Rental cars are also available. More
information is available at their website: www.portseattle.org/seatac/.
