We had a great time, Marilyn was a wonderful host and incredibly knowledgeable about local events. Quiet neighborhood that was good for long walks and kids. We had a rental car and were able to park right next to the house. Downtown Seattle and most tourist spots were a 15-minute drive away but we were happy to go back to our quiet neighborhood after a long day of sightseeing. Fred Meyer was just a short car ride away and it had almost everything you could need.
