Where to stay with a dog in Seattle: The Westin

Yes, sometimes she's a city dog, too!

They don't exactly advertise this, but the Westin in downtown Seattle allows dogs. No size limit, and no additional fee.
I love them for that, because I love staying there when I visit Seattle. It's a block from my favorite donut shop, Top Pot, an easy walk to the light rail station and not too far from either the ferry building or my favorite neighborhood, Queen Anne.
But also I like staying there with my large dog because I love the looks we get from the other guests when we walk on the elevator.
"This place allows dogs?" some will ask, and I nod and smile before looking down at my dog, because I love to watch her spend each elevator ride tilting her head from side to side, trying to figure out why we are moving and what is making those noises.
