)| Sequim Quality Inn & Suites | Our top recommended hotel. Brand new; opened in spring 2006.
The largest fraction of our guests will stay here. If you're
looking for a place where you can run into other wedding
guests in the lobby, this is the place. We reserved a block
of rooms (13 rooms with two queen-size beds, 2 smoking rooms
with two queen-size beds, and 3 rooms with one king-size bed).
Mention "Howard/Muirhead wedding" to get group rate.
It's $88/night for single or double occupancy, $96/night for
triple occupancy, and $104 for quadruple occupancy - a little
higher than we thought, but still a
good deal. The block is reserved the nights of July 13th,
14th, 15th, & 16th (Thursday through Sunday night). If you
reserved a room prior to February 15th, you should call again
and make sure that you're in our block of rooms. 134 River Road, Sequim, WA -- 360-683-2800 Update (4/22): all rooms taken during our wedding weekend. |

If you're arriving late at night in to or leaving early in the morning from the Seattle Airport, you might consider staying at one of the many hotels that are within a few miles. Because there are so many of these hotels, they're really inexpensive, and they're are good for separating the 2-2.5 hour drive from a flight. You can find these hotels by searching on orbitz.com or a similar site. (On Orbitz, click on "Hotels"; enter "Seattle" in the box called "Where"; then look at the results under SeaTac Airport.)
