Hotel Accomodations

We have rooms reserved at two hotels in the University district. Both are run by the same people and are a short walk to the Physics and Astronomy Building as well as to food and coffee shops in the University district. We will try to arrange the meeting schedule so people can leave mid-afternoon on Friday if needed.

The Watertown is a little nicer (director quality) and costs $189 per night. (Reservations 206-826-4242)

The University Inn is next door, and is slightly cheaper at $160 per night. (Reservations 206-632-5055)

Please reserve by May 1st to ensure availability of a room, and mention the MWA Research Meeting so they can use the reserved accomodations.

Air Travel

You will want to fly into the Seattle-Tacoma airport, code SEA.

Ground Transportation

The Seattle-Tacoma airport is on the south side of the city, and the University district is a little north of downtown. A taxi will cost about $50 and is a good route. The hotels and university district is well served by busses, and downtown is 10 minutes away by bus with departures every 5-10 minutes. If you would like to explore the city or the excellent hiking in the area, a rental car can be useful and there is parking at the hotels.
