Our fun trip to Seattle to visit my son became something more like refuge when the fires broke out near our home. We packed up everything that mattered, just in case, and Brian not only did all the wonderful regular hosting things, but also offered to store our extra boxes if needed (though they fit in his large and wonderful guest space just fine), and was flexible about all kinds of things that helped soothe our anxious hearts. We stayed indoors and were very comfortable. The price was a bargain by Seattle standards, and the location was perfect - just 12 blocks from my son. Highly recommended.
