July 2025
Be advised if you are coming that the Seattle Rock and Roll Marathon is going to be held also on June 26, in the Seattle and Tukwila area. The race starts in the north Tukwila area at 7am by BECU and finishes at Qwest Field in downtown Seattle.
The Renton Community Center is near, but not close enough so that you should not encounter road closures if you stick to the I-405 and Maple Valley Highway.
Do not try and cut through Renton or Tukwila the morning of the taikai, or you may be very sorry.
We’ve reserved a block of rooms at the Quality Inn in Renton, WA.
1850 SE Maple Valley Hwy Renton, WA, US, 98057
Phone: (425) 226-7600
Room rate: $79 for a double (two queen beds) ($10 for a rollaway)
Say you’re with the Pacific Northwest Kendo Federation to get this rate.
The rate is good from July 7- July 13, 2013. (Should you want to stay longer at that rate, just ask).
The hotel is directly across from the Renton Community Center, which means that if you haven’t got a car, no problem!
There is a Shari’s restaurant directly below the hotel and a few other places to eat within walking distance. Breakfast is included in the room rate! (coffee, tea, juice, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, cheese, assorted pastries and breads, fresh fruit, and a waffle station)
This is also where the after party will be on Saturday night!
