  Recommendations for visiting Seattle in January Hey everyone! I am planning to visit your beautiful city at the start of January. It is a pretty last minute trip since I was only planning to stay in California, but realized that I had extra days and really wanted to visit Seattle/ Portland since I was so close. I was looking for recommendations on where to stay on a budget since I've heard that Seattle can become expensive quickly. Are there any good hostels which are close to the city center? Also, are there any activities which can be done during January? I've heard that the rain makes the days really gloomy, but I still want to visit and enjoy the city! Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

  There is a hostel http://www.greentortoise.net/ I live here so haven't had a need to visit, but I can't say I've heard anything bad about it. January is a good month for oysters.

  Admin, please delete if if this is the wrong place to ask. My daughter is dead set on seeing a band at the showbox in seattle on Dec 1st. She is saving money and will pay for it all. I've voliteered to take her and her best friend there. She's 19 and i will do anything for her to be safe. Im going to drive her there, wait at a motel, picker her up after the show..stay the night in the motel and drive home the next day. What im asking is...do any of you know of a local company that can help me book the hotel? I would rather give a few bucks to a local company to help me out then suffer trying to do it myself.

  Food blogger friend of mine stayed here during a conference. I peaked in. Clean, you share rooms with bunk beds, very affordable. http://www.greentortoise.net

  Any recommendations on cheap accommodation close to the venue for some Vancouver lads?

  

  Keith H. replied:

  Different from all the above, this cheaper option is right next to Pike Place Market, a 25-minute walk or short bus ride from the venue: http://greentortoise.net

  Kayedon asked:

  In an effort to help a friend, can anyone here recommend a good/cheap(er) hotel in the Seattle area? Middle-ground between good and cheap, leaning on the cheaper side, preferrably with WiFi. I don't know any myself, seeing as I've never stayed in a hotel here, so I'm hoping someone on this vast subreddit has a clue of something that matches. Send me your ideas! :)

  If you don't mind sharing a room, with 3 other people, you can stay at any of the three hostels in Seattle for 30 bucks a night. You can also get a private room (shared shower) for around 60-80. http://www.greentortoise.net/ Right in the middle of Downtown. http://www.hostelseattle.com/ Slightly off downtown, but there's tons of artwork and has a warmer atmosphere. http://hiusa.org/seattle In the international district, and I really don't like this place. It feels like sleeping in a school or an office.
