I stayed five days at Enkyoji and had a wonderful experience. The caretaker Mike is very kind and provided me with everything I needed to accommodate my stay. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the International District. Across the street is the train station ($3 train ticket on Link Light rail from SeaTac Airport). The shared public sleeping space has up to four guests each night, and it is a shared space separated by shoji screens. Lights will be turned out depending on the sleeping needs of the guests (usually between 11:00-12:00). The closet light is always on, and there is plenty of ambient light to navigate the space when lights are off. Sleeping cots and shoji screens are stored away starting at 7:30am. There is a short (<20 minute) meditation service offered at 8:00am, and a breakfast of rice and miso soup is offered afterwards. Other guests sometimes leave food behind, so there might be more food options available there. I highly recommend Dim Sum King about 500 feet to the east of the temple. $.80 pastries, dumplings, and classic chinese dim sum menu items (use cash if spending $<10). There are two bathrooms, one with a toilet/sink and the other with urinal/sink/shower. The shower room is very small, but good enough for my needs. The entrance is on the north side of the building, and will always be locked unless a public service is being held. Up the stairs to the second floor is another locked door. You will be provided with a pair of keys for both. The outside of the building is near a common intersection populated by a few of Seattle's homeless depending on the time of day, but I had no problems with them. I felt safe at night, and Mike is always available if you have questions. Tons of food, coffee, shopping, and the like surrounds the area. Overall I would absolutely stay again (and I hope to!), and loved meeting the other guests that stayed at Enkyoji.
