Many of you are traveling a long way to join us as we celebrate our love for each other. Thank you for making the journey. I will do my best to provide you with as much information as possible, and may add more as we get closer to the wedding.
Flying in: We are fortunate to live near many airports; some are more expensive than others, and some are more convenient.
The three airports along the I5 corridor are Seattle (SEA), Everett (Paine Field), and Bellingham. Seattle tends to be the most affordable since it's the largest of the three. Keep in mind that you'll still need transportation up to Bellingham/Ferndale/Blaine. Everett is right in the middle, so it's convenient, and you don't have to deal with all the city traffic. Bellingham is the closest, smallest, and most expensive. For reference, it takes about 2 hours to get to Seattle, one hour to get to Everett, and 5 minutes to get to Bellingham from our home.
If you have a passport, you can fly into our neighbor to the north, Vancouver, British Columbia, which is about an hour drive from our home.
Transportation from SeaTac (Seattle Airport):
Bellair Airporter Shuttle is a great shuttle service. You can take it to Bellingham Airport or Ferndale, depending on your transportation, while you're in town.
Renting a car is likely your best bet. Pro tip: If you have a Costco membership, they offer way better car rental prices than any other place I've seen.
The Silver Reef Hotel and Casino is five minutes away from our home. We also plan to stay the night there on the wedding night, so if anyone wanted to continue the fun, we could do so at the casino.
There are also several other hotels nearby. Others that I would comfortably recommend are the following:
Holiday Inn & Suites Bellingham by IHG
