Where should I look for non-hotel lodging options?
If you want to stay at an AirBnB or something similar, check out Kirkland, Bellevue, and Redmond since those are the closest neighborhoods to the wedding venue. You can also check out Downtown Seattle, which will have more options, but it would take about 20 minutes to drive to the wedding.

What can we not wear? Please do not wear tuxedos, sneakers, jeans, or shorts.
What does "dressy casual attire" mean?

Why is there a boat on the save the date?
Meg and Keshane get to take a ride on the Woodmark II after the ceremony. During this time our guests will begin to enjoy cocktail hour.
Did you pick this wedding venue because it has "carillon" in the address? And is there a carillon there?
No, we did not pick it because of the word "carillon" but it did feel like a good omen for our wedding. And no, sadly there isn't a carillon here.
Will your cat Salmon be at the wedding?
Despite what the drawing on the save the date may suggest, Salmon will not be attending. He is easily motion sick and doesn't do well with crowds.
Is (Meg|Keshane) taking (Keshane's|Meg's) last name?
No. Keshane's last name is Gan. That would make Meg's name Meg Gan or Megan Gan. Both Meg and Keshane will be keeping their last names.
