Emerald City SCRABBLE® 2008: Parking & Dining
PARKING Suggestions:
Yeah we know. Parking in downtown Seattle is NOT cheap. We've investigated and come
up with a few alternatives to the Hotel parking garage:
| name/addr |
hours/price |
Grand Hyatt Seattle
721 Pine St
|
Valet parking: $33+tax per day for hotel guests ($39+tax for non-guests)
|
Grand Hyatt Seattle
7th between Pike & Pine
8th between Pike & Pine
|
Self-parking: $29+tax per day
|
City Centre Parking Garage

Union between 4th & 5th
|
Saturday, Sunday: $6/day ($24 overnight) open 8am-Midnight
|
|
On-street parking
|
FREE Sunday May 25 and Monday May 26 (holiday)
|
Note: if you are coming in from out of town and want to avoid paying for parking altogether,
you can park your car a Seattle Club member's house and leave it there for the weekend.
After all, once you get to the tournament hotel you don't need a car.
