A propriedade — Oak Tree Motel

The Oak Tree Motel is a no-frills, family-run motor lodge on Aurora Avenue, just north of the ship canal. The lobby smells of floor polish and old coffee, with a few dusty brochures for the Space Needle on the counter. It’s a reliable base for drivers who want a cheap, clean room near downtown without the parking fees, and suits budget-conscious travellers on a road trip or a quick overnight.

Crónicas de Seattle

Seattle was founded in 1851 by the Denny Party, who landed at Alki Point before moving to the sheltered harbour of Elliott Bay. The city boomed during the Klondike Gold Rush as the main supply point, then rebuilt after the 1889 Great Fire using brick and stone. The 1962 World’s Fair gave it the Space Needle and a tech-research park, and later Microsoft and Amazon turned the region into a global tech hub. Today Seattle is a mix of timber-and-brick pioneer buildings, glassy towers, and a rainy café culture that still feels like a frontier port.

Melhores meses

July to September: warmest weather, low 20s °C, clear skies, and the city is alive with outdoor festivals, but crowds are heavy and hotel prices hit their peak.

Peak / Festival Surge

July and August are peak: Seafair hydroplane races and Capitol Hill Block Party draw tens of thousands. Motel rates double from the winter base, and you'll need to book three months ahead for any reasonable room near the city.

Orçamento da temporada

May and October: still mild (12–20°C), fewer tourists, and room rates drop 30-40%. May brings spring blooms; October offers crisp air and autumn colour in the parks.

Tempo e embalagem

Seattle's summer is dry but can flip to drizzle without warning, thanks to the Puget Sound convergence zone. Bring a light waterproof jacket and layers, not an umbrella—locals never use them.

Livro City Briefing — Seattle

  • The Seattle Monorail is running a reduced timetable through summer 2026 due to ongoing track maintenance between Westlake and Seattle Center.
  • The new 'Move Seattle' bus lanes on Aurora Avenue North just north of the motel are in effect, cutting travel time to downtown but restricting right turns at peak hours.
  • July 2026 marks the 50th annual Seafair Weekend (July 30–August 2) at Genesee Park, which will bring heavy traffic to the I-90 bridge and a temporary closure of the Mount Baker boat launch.

Insider tips

Be aware that parking at this hotel may be limited, so it's a good idea to arrive early to secure a spot. You can also consider using public transportation or ride-sharing services to avoid parking hassles.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
