As appealing as a Puget Sound destination wedding sounds, we didn't find any place that fits the bill. We're looking at some sort of Seattle wedding weekend. No matter where we choose, there are likely many exciting events starting Thursday night and rolling on through Sunday.

We have it down to 3 locations. See photos of all 3. The list of finalist Seattle locations is:
