Mike was very welcoming. He had some suggestions about touristy things I could do. When I got back he had my cot set up, and I had a great night's sleep. I had to leave early in the morning and Mike got up to make sure I didn't oversleep.

The temple is at the intersection of two major thoroughfares, but is not in a noisy neighborhood and I did not hear any street noise inside the tunnel.

The temple is on the edge of Chinatown. Mike recommended a place for a dim sum breakfast, which was excellent. The temple is one block from a Seattle Central Link station (which is about 40 minutes from the airport), and two blocks from the Seattle Amtrak station. I took the Amtrak Cascade from Seattle to Vancouver, and enjoyed it immensely.
