High season in the Northwest officially begins May 1, with prices for everything bumping up to summer rates. If you have a night or two free in the next week and a half, jump on the good weather and good prices for a spring stay in an urban bed and breakfast. We like the looks of these three deals:

$124, The Chambered Nautilus, Seattle

The University of Washington campus, which really wows in spring, is five blocks away, and you’ll find cheap eats on lively University Avenue, an eight-minute walk.

$109, The Corkscrew Inn, Vancouver

Away from the downtown hubbub, the inn is an easy stroll from several public beaches with jaw-dropping views. Stay before May and duck the usual three-night minimum requirement.

$149, Mangy Moose Bed and Breakfast, Anchorage

Ideally located for wildlife sightings: Moose meander through the neighborhood almost every day, and hiking trails at Chugach State Park are a 10- to 15-minute walk. Before May 1, you can affordably swoop on a jacuzzi room or suite.
