Our wedding is taking place the same day at the Seattle Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon. While we don’t expect this will have a large impact on the weekend, there are a couple things to consider.
Please book your travel arrangements early – there will be lots of people coming in from out of town for the same weekend, the earlier you make your reservations the better. See our post about booking rooms in our block for more information.
The course for both the half and full marathon starts near the Space Needle and goes through downtown into south Seattle back along the waterfront and finishes back at the Seattle Center.
This means that where the wedding and reception are being held, in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, will be mostly unaffected. Most road closures will occur early Saturday morning but will be opened by the afternoon at the latest.
For those of you staying downtown, there may be some impact getting in and out of the area. 2nd Ave will be closed from Jackson the Broad Street from 6:00 – 9:00 am. We suggest familiarizing yourself with the road closures. We also suggest allowing yourself a little bit of extra time to travel around on Saturday, even after all the roads have been reopened there will still be lots of jelly-legged runners wandering around Seattle.
