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:


ChamberedNautilus $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.



CorkscrewInn $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.






MangyMoose $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.

Thanks for these fabulous suggestions! Urban B&Bs can transform a city stay into a retreat. I also love that they are all-inclusive, with breakfast, tea and coffee, personal tourist information and warm hospitality.

I'd love it if your blog kept us up-to-date on bargains like this on a regular basis. It lets us know where the bargains are and gives family-owned B&Bs a badly-needed boost. Fabulous!
