Neighbourhood
We live in a quiet, residential neighborhood with coffee shops and a few restaurants 2-3 blocks away. Within a mile/1.5 kilometers, there is another commercial stretch with more restaurants, a postal store, Starbucks, and an amazing neighborhood grocery with a stellar wine collection.
Getting to my home
Our home is located near downtown Seattle, 30 minutes' driving time from SeaTac International Airport (or ~45 minutes with light rail and bus).
Nearest airport
SeaTac International Airport is 25-30 mins by car, 45 mins by light rail. As of 2026, 37 airlines operate at Sea–Tac, serving 96 domestic and 37 international destinations.
Getting Around
Our home is centrally located near downtown Seattle, with bus stops and light rail stations located within walking distance of our home.
Travelling by car is generally the fastest way to get around Seattle, but the following are easily accessible from our home with public transportation:
* Downtown Seattle - 25 minutes (bus or light rail)
* Downtown Stadiums - 35 minutes (bus or light rail)
* Seattle Center (Climate Pledge Arena, Space Needle, museums, opera, ballet, theaters) - 35 minutes (bus)
* University of Washington and Husky Stadium - 40 minutes (bus)
* SeaTac International Airport - 45 minutes (bus and light rail)
* Downtown Bellevue - 45 minutes (light rail)
* Downtown Redmond/Microsoft Campus - 1 hour (light rail)
Our neighborhood is very hilly, so e-bikes (which are available for rent via Lime) are easier to use

Mara & Andy
We are Mara, Andy, and our active 3.5-year-old daughter, Phoebe, along with our two easygoing cats. We’re experienced world travelers, and lately have been hosting au pairs for childcare (love building our international community and welcoming guests to our home).
We are seeking a 3 to 6-month home exchange starting in January 2027 for a remote work/sabbatical swap. Our home is setup for comfortable living and is fully equipped for families, offering plenty of space to relax, work, and explore the Pacific Northwest. We'd love to connect if you're looking for a comfortable home base in Seattle!
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
