Local knowledge for Seattle
Where to stay
Capitol Hill, centered on the Broadway and Pike/Pine corridor, is where most budget travelers end up, with hostels, cheap eats, and easy walking to the rest of the city. Belltown, just north of Pike Place Market, puts you close to the waterfront and downtown without paying hotel-district rates.
Getting around
- Take the Link Light Rail from Sea-Tac Airport directly to Capitol Hill Station or Westlake Station for a few dollars. It skips the traffic on I-5 and costs a fraction of a rideshare.
- Pike Place Market turns shoulder-to-shoulder by mid-morning. Get there before 9am to move freely through the stalls and pick up a cheap breakfast from the lower-level vendors near the Pike Place Fish Market.
- Seattle Art Museum offers free admission on the first Thursday of each month. Check the calendar before paying full price for any museum day.
When to go
Beds are cheapest from November through March, when the rain keeps visitor numbers low. July and August fill fast, particularly around Seafair weekend in late July, when the hydroplane races and airshow on Lake Washington pull crowds from across the region.
