Using the PRICELINE link, I was seeking 2 nights in Seattle - August 16 - August 18, 2013 Seems to be an extremely busy period for room nights. Yesterday, a B&B owner mentioned there was Hempfest during these dates... Raised the white flag, and I ended up booking via Hotwire - Marriot Waterfront @ $267/night.
