Gift Information

As a Gift Alternative, we'd like to encourage donations to the "Paulie Diapers" fund at VCA West Seattle Veterinary Hospital. For those of you who didn't know Paulie, he was our "special needs" dog who passed in early February. He spent a substantial amount of time at the vet and was known and loved by all who cared for him there. To donate you can make checks payable to "VCA West Seattle Veterinary Hospital" and send them to our home address:

4510 SW Hemlock Way, Seattle WA 98136

This fund will benefit less fortunate pets and owners who need help paying for verterinarian care.

We are registered at Macy's, Crate & Barrel & Details Home Decor & Gifts

Parking will be available at the WaMu Center/Seattle Art Museum parking garage located on Union St between 1st Ave and 2nd Ave. From there it's just a half block walk up 1st Ave to the Showbox. Also, street parking is free on Sundays.

Hotel Information

In case any of you are interested in staying downtown after Tina & Todd's wedding/reception festivities (it's going to be a party!), we have blocked some rooms under the Farmer/Ferkingstad wedding party at a rate of $159/night at the Grand Hyatt Seattle. These rates are available on a "first come-first serve" basis. After that, the Hyatt will try to accomodate but there is no guarantee.

Below is a link for making reservations online. The price is guaranteed until 8/4/09. After that rates are subject to increase. Reservations require a credit card but the card will not be charged until checkout.
