The Meeting Planner's Guide to Seattle Southside

When you’re planning a meeting in a new area, it can be hard to wrap your head around all the details. There are the simple challenges like figuring out how to get from A to B to more nuanced choices, like knowing the best place to grab happy hour with a group when some people want vegetarian, some want a view, and you just want everyone to be happy. With the right guide, traveling for a meeting can be a memorable experience that introduces you to new cultures, expands your perspective and facilitates bonding. That’s why we created the Curiously Wonderful Planning Guide to Seattle Southside. (Bookmark southsideplanningguide.com for easy access).

This colorful 30-page digital guide, which you can easily share with meeting attendees, includes everything you need to have an unforgettable experience. Rather than your typical list of hotels and venues, this guide is specifically designed to be used after you've already chosen a venue in Seattle Southside and need to know how to make the most of your time in the area. In addition to a thorough explanation of all the services we provide to help you with planning and producing your event, it has loads of ideas for things to do before and after a meeting (or, as we like to call them, microadventures).

What is a microadventure? It’s the perfect way to get a taste of something new when you only have a few hours, or even one hour to spare. Our guide truly has something for everyone, whether you’re looking to spend time outside, fill up on delicious food, get your adrenaline up, learn something new or shop for unique goods. 

What else is inside the guide:

  • Helpful info about local businesses, including contact information and links.
  • A fun, sightseeing-focused guide to the Link Light Rail stops, so you know how to access tons of attractions in downtown Seattle and beyond simply by hopping on the light rail at one of three convenient stations in Seattle Southside. 
  • The best places for grabbing a meal with a group, whether you want to explore a new cuisine or opt for something familiar. Thanks to the incredible diversity of our region, you can find cuisines from across the globe, in addition to classic American and PNW fare.
  • Ten different trusted charter services to hire for your transportation needs.
  • A guide to microadventures you can take a group on, whether you’re looking for something for team building, an impressive reception site, volunteering or something else. Just a few examples include a tour of Seattle Chocolate Factory (live your childhood dreams!), the Museum of Flight and indoor skydiving at iFLY.
  • Detailed guide maps (way more useful than Google Maps, we promise!) specifically designed with planners in mind.

Find all you need to plan a meeting your clients won't forget in The Curiously Wonderful Planning Guide to Seattle Southside.
