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
