Planning considerations:

Transportation:

• We recommend taking the Link Light Rail from Sea-Tac airport to the University Street Station, which is two blocks from the W Seattle (the conference venue). The cost of a ticket is $3. You can get more information at SoundTransit Link Light Rail.
• Taxis and Uber and Lyft Rideshares are a convenient option for transportation to and from Sea-Tac. At this point, the cost is estimated to be $55 one-way but may be up to $110 with surge pricing.
• If you choose to rent a car, the W Seattle offer valet parking for $68 per night. Most downtown parking is reserved paid parking and is typically full.

Hotel:

• Group rate reservations with W Seattle will be open through August 3rd, 2022, subject to availability.
• Please contact the Group Reservations line at 800-228-9290 with questions about the hotel.

• On the evening of Tuesday, August 23, all are invited to join us at the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) for appetizers, drinks and networking starting at 6:30 p.m. The SAM is about 5 blocks from the W Seattle (a 10-minute walk).
