Our family had a great time exploring Seattle from Bridget's comfortable guest house. It was so conveniently located we didn't need a car with pleasant walks to the water taxi or Alki beach via Schmitz park. There is also a free shuttle from these places if you don't feel like hiking back up the hill. And to top it off, there is a really good grocery store with a deli and hot bar literally a block away. We never cooked since the store was so convenient but could have since the guesthouse had a full kitchen and Bridget offered use of her BBQ grill. Oh yea, there is a nice park 2 blocks away that our 4yr old son loved. We hope to return!
