How about the Westin Seattle on Fifth? Or the Sheraton Seattle & Towers on 6th? It's not
that far! You'll be in town for the famed (and also nonexistent, according to QL) Seattle nightlife
Otherwise the Hyatt in Bellevue is probably your best choice! It's better than the Hilton in Bellevue, IMHO
There's NOT too much in Redmond that I know of! Except perhaps some MS folks! And a motel or two!
Best of luck and enjoy one of my favorite places!

But bring an umbrella too!
