We stayed two nights in Seattle at Kristin's place. It was easy to find, very easy to find/use mass transit into the city. The house itself offered tons of free street parking, a very comfortable bed, and the best peaches for breakfast I've had in a while! We didn't get to meet Kristin until we were leaving on the last day - so sad. She was very welcoming and so gracious. If we come back to Seattle again, we'll definitely stay with her.
