Hotels & Travel

EVENT START
Around noon on Thursday, Dec 31st, 2026

EVENT END
Early morning on Monday, January 4, 2027
(Late night activities on January 3rd continue into the morning of the 4th. No additional events are scheduled for January 4th.)

HOTELS
All event activities will take place at APEX Everett. We recommend staying within walking distance at a nearby Airbnb or one of the following hotels:
Courtyard by Marriott Everett Downtown
Travelodge (budget option)
Staff will be staying at the Courtyard by Marriott, but we will not have an official hotel block this year to give attendees more flexibility to choose accommodations that work best for them.

TRAVEL
If you’re flying in, you have two main options:
1. Fly into Seattle–Tacoma International Airport and take the Link light rail and buses to Everett (~2 hours), drive (~1 hour), or take the Amtrak (~1hr).
2. Fly into Paine Field Passenger Terminal and take a short ride to the venue (~15 minutes). If booked early, flights to Paine Field are often only slightly more expensive than flying into SEA-TAC.

Also, Amtrak has a line from Eugene, OR all the way to Vancouver BC with a stop in Everett!

PRO TIP
Use our Event Discord to find roommates, seek local housing, or ask for a ride from the airport!
