Well...If you plan on coming way up north like Seattle. Let me know ahead of tim. I can find you GR8 lodging at fair rates along light rail.
Our house is too small for guest but I'd love to help you not get ripped of by some travel agent or something. (not to upset members who are agents)
Anyhow...think about it....The more you can save, the more you can do.
Anyway....Just trying to help
