Thanks for the suggestions guys! Either area is acceptable although I would prefer Pike Place Market. However, the Space Needle would be fine as an alternative if I got a good price. From what I have read, both locations offer a good base to see the main tourist sites. After doing some research most sites seem to be offering rooms for nothing less than $180 so if I got a deal for $99 a night I'd be more than happy. Its several weeks until I travel so slowly increasing my bid by up to $10 increments sounds like a good plan. I will use the PRICELINE link for my bidding
