This shuttle service is very efficient and reliable for travel between Vancouver airport and Seattle airport and various stops in between. Mainly I use it to travel between the two airports since it makes a huge difference to fly from a US state to Vancouver compared to a US state to Seattle. The extra 4 hour drive is worth the savings in money. The ride is very comfortable and usually not a packed bus. The bus drivers have all been very considerate and helps you with your luggage. As you cross the border you need to take your luggage through customs yourself but it's not hassle. The other stops include downtown Seattle, hotels, and various downtown Vancouver hotels too. The prices are reasonable and there are discounts for students and seniors. Everything runs according to schedule. No delays. Check the website out for more information. Very easy to navigate.

I always recommend the Silver Cloud Inn to out-of-town travelers. There are many locations in the Puget Sound. The University one is where my friends and bridal party stayed and we all enjoyed our experience here. It's within walking distance to U-Village, there is a shuttle service to take you to nearby destinations, and they serve a decent breakfast. For the amenities provided, you can't beat the price. Also staying in University Village or even off Broadway is a nice alternative to staying downtown.

I recently placed a call to Yellow Cab to arrange for a cab and I have to agree the dispatcher did not have the concept of courteous customer service very firmly in mind. As soon as you try to get clarification of something, they get snippy. If other dispatchers are better, as reviewers here have mentioned, then when calling for a cab, you might want to go elsewhere. However, for flagging down cabs on the street, I've taken Yellow Cab many times and found the drivers helpful, friendly, and considerate. One driver refused to take a tip when the cab had been paid for by Amtrak because our train was hours late (I guess he didn't want to charge Amtrak extra, nor did he want us to have to pay a tip). One cab saw my sister and me flagging him down late at night, called his company and made sure another cab was close enough to pick up the fare he had been on the way to, and gave us a ride so we wouldn't have to wait around at night--even though we weren't going that far. I used to take Far West because that's what my company paid for when people worked late, and I did not have as good experiences with those drivers. Some of them actually made me feel uneasy. I also know the problems cab drivers get from customers are at least as bad as the problems the problems we sometimes experience with cab drivers! This is one of the most hazardous job occupations there is, and Seattle cab drivers have had their share of violence and even murders. As far as the drivers go, let's try to be understanding of ordinary problems like traffic, and tip well.
Updated after a dreadful dispatch experience: I had to get my cat home from the vet and called Yellow Cab thinking this would be faster than the bus. I placed the call, explained I had a cat and waited quite a while, then called again. The dispatcher then said they still hadn't found someone and they'd get right on it. I was very clear that my cat was quite sick and they needed to either take care of it right away or advise me they couldn't. 20 minutes later I started walking to the bus (I had missed the bus I would have caught if I hadn't waited for Yellow Cab, but I realized waiting for the next one was probably going to be faster than waiting for Yellow Cab). I also called dispatch, and the dispatcher again said, oh, we'll try to find you something "right away." I said don't bother and took the bus home. My cat died the next day--waiting around in the cold for a cab certainly didn't help her any. Don't call these people if you want a reliable dispatch--review downgraded to two stars due to lousy dispatch, although I still think Yellow Cab drivers are mostly nice and they are fine to flag down.

I think finding a good hotel in Seattle can be

clean and the prices are reasonable. If
you have out of town guests, this is the
place.

When I forst moved to Seattle from Chicago, my friend and I weren't able to find a decent place for cheap to stay. After staying in a weird and dirty hostel in Capitol Hill, someone suggested we try the Green Tortoise downtown. We instantly felt at home! Of course, it's nothing fancy, but it had clean rooms, beds and bathrooms, was cheap, warm, and even a night where people socialize and share food.
It was our home for three weeks until we were able to get an apartment, and it was overall a good experience at a cheap price. Best of all, I think, was the location! Great downtown location, perfect for budget travellers.

This hotel is located right above the El Gaucho restaurant in Belltown. I recommended this hotel to my friend earlier this year and she enjoyed it tremendously - particularly the down comforters, bose stereo system, and flat screen hdtv. It is located outside the downtown hotel district in belltown, close to the waterfront, keyarena, and the opera.
