Kathleen's place was a perfect home base for our week-long trip to Seattle and the surrounding area. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed--even a few things that we didn't realize we'd need! We rented a car because we ventured out to the national parks, and on the days we stayed in town, the light rail was a pleasant 20-minute walk away. I think there are bus stops even closer to the apartment, but we didn't end up taking a bus while we were there. We enjoyed exploring Columbia City and Seward Park, and Kathleen's local travel guide was so helpful. We'd be glad to stay here again if we're ever back in Seattle.
