Seattle, WA
Our Story
When Scott and Allison were in their sophomore year in college at the University of Kansas, Scott moved to a new dorm, Lewis Hall, where Allison had been living. During an evening of Phase Ten in the 4th floor lobby, Scott and Allison met for the first time. They continued to build a friendship over the next four years while they went through undergraduate school. In 2005, Allison was slated to begin her MSW program at KU and Scott had just taken a new job in Kansas City, so they began commuting together three days a week from Lawrence. About a week later they started dating and the rest is history.

Visiting Seattle
TRANSPORTATION
If you're traveling to us from outside of Washington, you may want to explore these transportation options:
Seattle Tacoma International Airport
Most major airlines fly into SeaTac airport. The airport is about 30 minutes south of Seattle. You'll most likely want to plan to stay somewhere in the city so you aren't too far from the wedding venue, which is in the Ballard neighborhood.
At SeaTac airport, you'll find most major car rental companies, if you'd like to have a vehicle during your stay.
Seattle is working on expanding its light rail system to help with our ever-growing city. If you so choose, in lieu of renting a car, you could take the light rail from the airport into downtown Seattle and then use Uber or Lyft to get to your hotel and around the city.
Transportation via Uber and Lyft is very common in Seattle and an easy way to get around if you don't want to rent a car.

FAQs
Will there be any COVID-19 precautions during the wedding festivities?
-
Consider getting the fall 2023 COVID-19 vaccine before attending the wedding (unless for some reason you are unable).
-
If you're traveling by plane or train, please consider wearing a mask on your way to the wedding.
-
If you're willing, test yourself for COVID-19 once you arrive in Seattle, before attending the wedding.
-
If you are having any cold or COVID symptoms, please wear a mask at the wedding or consider not attending.
Where will the wedding be held and where do I park?
The wedding will be held in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle at the National Nordic Museum on Sunday, October 15, 2023. The address is 2655 NW Market St, Seattle, WA 98107. There is a parking lot around the back side of the museum that we have bought out for the night of the wedding, so you won't need to pay at the pay station.
What should I wear to the wedding?
Our wedding will be elegant and formal attire.
What will the weather be like in October in Seattle?
October in Seattle can be a bit unpredictable. It's typically either sunny and 65 during the days or rainy and windy. We're hoping for the former. We recommend checking the weather before you attend and also bringing layers.
What is the best way to get around in Seattle?
Seattle is a growing metropolis with 733,919 people in the city and over 4 million living in the greater Seattle area. Seattle has a robust public transportation system including buses, an expanding light rail, and many, many drivers. For getting around in the city, we do recommend Lyft, Uber, taxis, and the light rail, unless you're unfamiliar with taking public transportation and prefer to rent a car. Definitely exercise caution and allow extra time for getting around during rush hour and when navigating on I-5.
Can I bring my children?
While we would love to see and meet the kids of all of our friends, in interest of managing the size of our event, only children of family and of the wedding party are invited.
