The Green Tortoise Hostel, Seattle

On Friday I stayed at the Green Tortoise in Seattle, which was a wonderful place. My plane (JetBlue) arrived after the last buses south, so I had to stay the night in the city. A bed in an 8-man room is $25, private rooms were around $40 I think, and there were several options inbetween. Breakfast, wi-fi, awesome.

A lock, maybe, for your storage locker. I didn’t ask, but I didn’t see any indication they rented them out.

The concierge, who seemed stoned, annoyed me greatly by taking an inordinate amount of time to check me in. But then he made up for it by helping me find a quiet place where I could talk on the phone.

The next day, I tried to take the Shared Route biodiesel bus to Olympia, but it never showed up, and their phone just played an old message saying the bus ride for the 26th was cancelled. Hippies…
