[pct-l] Seattle Youth Hostel to close March 17

[Tom Griffin]

If you are coming to the PCTA Trail Fest and were planning to use the 
Hostelling International-Seattle facility in the Pike Place Market, you 
need to make other plans. The landlord is refusing to renew the lease 
and will convert the place into apartments (typical of the Seattle real 
estate market). Here is a link to the story in the local newspaper

There is still the downtown alternative hostel, the Green Tortoise 
Hostel, at 105 Pike Street, for those looking for low-cost lodging at a 
fantastic location. Here is a link to their Web site:

PCTA Trail Fest is March 23-25 at the Mountaineers Building, 300  Third 
Ave. W., north of downtown in the Queen Anne neighborhood.
