World Cup Matches - Book Early, Plan for Traffic in Seattle
Seattle will be hosting some World Cup matches the week of the wedding (6/15, 6/19, 6/24, and 6/26). If you choose to take the Lightrail or travel downtown on those days, traffic may be heavier than usual. Downtown Seattle hotels are also booking very quickly. More details here.
Renting a car will give you the most flexibility to explore Seattle and get to the venue. Issaquah (where our venue is) is not well-connected to downtown Seattle's public transit. But, be aware that If you stay in downtown Seattle, parking can be expensive.
If you plan to stay in the city of Seattle, it's easy to take the LightRail (Link) from the airport to downtown Seattle using an ORCA card (purchase at the station). Buses also use ORCA cards. Check the service maps here.
Rideshares and taxis are always an option, and it's usually pretty easy to get a rideshare (Lyft/Uber)
We recommend staying either in Downtown Seattle, Issaquah, Redmond, or Bellevue. Downtown Seattle would have more access to tourist destinations (Pikes Place, Space Needle, Ferries, etc) and restaurants/bars while Issaquah would provide slightly easier access to hiking and the Cascade Mountains. Redmond is close to parks and trails, and Bellevue has plenty of restaurants, shops, and easy access back into Seattle. Hotels in Seattle and Bellevue are already getting quite booked out due to the World Cup.
