A handful of visitors will be staying at the Shuey House, while the remaining visitors have rooms on hold for them at Hotel Deca (4507 Brooklyn Avenue NE, Seattle, WA 98105). The tentative housing arrangement is as follows:

The Shuey House

Hotel Deca

Getting to the Shuey House/Hotel Deca from Seattle-Tacoma

Here are some options to get to the Shuey House or Hotel Deca from the airport:

Getting Around

Both the Shuey House and Hotel Deca are close to the UW campus as well as plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, etc. You will find that you can walk to nearly anything you like from the house or hotel, so a car is probably unnecessary. If you do plan on renting a car, please let me (Salman) know, and I will provide you information on parking, getting to/from the hotel, etc.

Seattle also has a well-connected bus system, which can be used if you want to get out of the University District and explore the rest of the city. Talk to Craig or Salman if you have any questions about riding the buses.
