Shannon's Place fully met lodging and local needs for my partner and me for our 15 days. She was quickly responsive to a couple inquiries during our first few days and even added to the streaming to allow access to a channel we watch frequently. The kitchen was very well stocked, allowing for meals when we didn't venture out to one of the many fine eating establishments, many within walking distance and others just a few minutes drive away. And driving/traffic was not very bad even for a non- Seattle resident. The aquarium, children's museum and Pike Place Market were nice with our granddaughter as were the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Is.(with a nice ferry ride too), Breadfarm in Edison and Taylor Shellfish at Samish an hour north. Don't miss the Ballard Farmers Market Sundays.
