Tentative accommodations

Folks in Seattle who can host should describe their hosting capabilities here:

• Mako:
  • 1 guest room likely (but to be confirmed with housemates)
  • Other couches in shared/less-private space are also possible but probably not ideal.

• Sayamindu
  • Airbed on the lower level/floor of my loft apartment

• Kaylea
  • Need to confirm with family, but either downstairs bedroom with own bathroom/shower or upstairs bedroom with bathroom across the hall
  • House contains kids and dog, not vegetarian
  • Located in Shoreline (if you imagine UW located in Chicago's Lincoln Park, then Shoreline is Evanston...without the Purple/Red line).

• Emilia:
  • 1 guest room
  • 1 sleep sofa (full)
  • 1 twin in my study
  • house in Bellevue -- bus downtown is just down the hill (connects to Link to UW) or walk (30 mins)/drive (< 10 mins) to bus to UW
  • I often walk, but could probably drive people to the bus (but can't guarantee this 100%)
  • 2 indoor only cats, very affectionate

• Nate
  • Couches, airbed
  • The plan right now is for Sneha to stay

Ideas of fun things to do

• puzzle/escape rooms (including DIY ones we could do in the lab)
• Seattle underground tour
• Portal, a virtual reality bar, arcade, and lounge
• catered lunch at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Ballard where might even be able to see spawning salmon
• a trip to the Seattle Aquarium
• a visit to the Living Computer Museum — the museum is open until 8pm on the first Thursdays every every month (when it's also free after 5pm!)
• a ride on a Washington State ferry
