WELCOME WOF 9 ATHLETES! 

Thank you for traveling to Seattle and attending our event! We would like to make your experience as enjoyable as possible, so we have put together some basic information to help you! 

Accommodations: 
  • American Hotel Hostel – Located in the heart of downtown and a 15 minute car ride from All Together Skatepark, American Hotel Hostel has donated 12 beds for Wheels of Fortune Athletes! Fill out our Athlete Accomodations application if you would like to stay in one of these beds. Filled on a first come, first serve basis.  
  • Airbnb – Many of our athletes and visitors have used Airbnb to find affordable accommodations in the area (Fremont). www.airbnb.com 
  • The Loyal Inn Seattle – This hotel is in the heart of downtown and is moderately priced. It is close to local bus lines that can easily get you to the event. Visit www.loyalinn.com for more info and booking. 
  • Other Local Hotels – A quick Google search for hotels near the event will pull up many affordable locations. We recommend staying away from the “Motels”. 
  • Athlete Accommodation Application - We have an athlete host program available for athletes that may not be able to afford all the expenses of travel. Please fill out the Athlete Accommodation Application if you are going to need to stay with a host family. Not all hosts are able to provide transportation to and from the event, so please make sure you have funds for transportation and food. Click the link to complete the application and please read all the information: https://www.skatelikeagirl.com/wof9accommodations.html 

Transportation: 
  • Lyft/Uber App – We highly recommend these car service apps for getting around town affordably 
  • Public transportation - We have a good number of bus lines that travel from the Downtown area to the event neighborhood of Fremont. For easy trip planning you can download a couple apps to get you around town on the bus system: 
    • Google Maps App – Type in where you want to go and select the departure/arrival time. You have the option to choose public transportation (little bus icon). This will tell you when and where you should catch the bus.  
    • OneBusAway App - This app allows you to look at the stop you need and tells you when your bus will be arriving as well as show you all the bus routes. 
*The combination of these two apps will get you anywhere in Seattle on public transit.
