Housing in Seattle for 6.5 weeks

[AliciaB]

Hello,

I am considering going to Swedish Cancer Institute in Seattle, Wa for my radiation treatment; however, I live on the east side of the state in Pullman, Wa. Does anyone know of affordable housing in Seattle? I am looking for a place that would be less than $80/night, ( $4500 total) for 1.5 months, available approximately mid August through September.

Or does anyone know where I can apply for lodging grants?

Thanks for the resources.

Will you be at or near the Cherry Hill Campus? I went on the website and found this about the Inn at Cherry Hill. It sounds like a room with twin beds is $70/night and there is also a number to call if you need financial assistance.

You can contact your local American Cancer Society and ask about a Hope Lodge. There are Hope Lodges all over the U. S. including the Seattle area.

Have you thought about contacting the social workers of Swedish Cancer Center in Seattle? They might know more resources than what's listed on its website:
