Katherine is a wonderful host and has a beautiful home. We travelled with our young son and our return visit to Seattle was even better than before because of Katherine's home. The location is superb as we only went into downtown Seattle 1-2 times over almost 2 weeks, but we preferred to stay out of downtown Seattle. We were so close to many state parks and enjoyed so many beaches, trains, boat and mountain views, hikes. There's great coffee, food and breweries nearby between 5-10 min. Her amenities were great as we enjoyed evening fires, BBQs, and "hiking" in the backyard as our little one chased bunnies and explored the beautiful landscaping several evenings. I enjoyed afternoon/evening runs around the neighborhood. Without hesitation, we would definitely stay again if we return to Seattle.
