About the host
Hosted by Kelsey C. Whalen
Originally from the midwest, I've lived on the East side of Seattle for 13 years now. I adore the pacific northwest and try to spend as much time as I can in the outdoors, exploring the region's mountains, forests, and lakes. I love helping my guests create lifelong memories at our home. I have tried to anticipate everything you might need to make your stay perfect and truly relax in this hectic world. I am always available for anything you might need during your stay or to field any questions you have about the home or the Seattle region.
Why they chose this property

Perfect location for working in the area- close to MSFT, T-Mobile, GOOG, Starbucks, REI and Boeing.
Also great if you are in town for Mariners or Seahawks- just 13 miles from the stadiums!
