We happily enjoyed our stay in Columbia City/Seattle. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted and received a tour, along with local suggestions. During our stay, we were greeted by all locals during our walks which made us feel extremely welcomed.
We did not rent a car after researching Sound Transit, since we only planned to tour downtown and catch a Mariner’s game. The walk to the light rail was a great workout and easily accessible.
If we return to Seattle we would definitely return to Barbara and Andy’s home! As well as highly recommending them to other’s. Enjoy your trips!
