We had such a lovely Seattle trip, and our family of 5 was quite comfortable at Lisa’s place thanks to the extra inflatable beds. It is one of the cleanest places I’ve stayed in, everything seemed sparkly and new.
The cleaning fee seemed high at first, but after staying I understand - theres a tub and two showers and all the laundry… it’s like cleaning an entire house and def justified.
If you’re down for walking and fairly in shape for stairs etc… it is possible to get along fine without a car since the Westlake station is about a 15 min walk away. Don’t recommend walking past dark though and everything is closed anyhow.
The one stop monorail leaves from Westlake station straight to the Seattle Center and the lightrail goes to the airport and everywhere else it stops for $3 a ride!
Pikes Place is about 10 minutes walk down the Harbor and up stairs then take the elevator by the popcorn place to floor 6 - you’ll be standing in the middle of the fish market when it opens.
Hope these tips help! Grateful for a fun family trip overlooking the Harbor!
