Formerly a boarding house and a dance studio, this 1906 home has been a B&B since 2003. Its facade is not the grandest of Seattle's B&Bs, but you know what they say about judging a book by its cover. The 11th Avenue Inn has nine rooms, each with eclectic Victorian furnishings, grand rugs, handsome headboards and hand-pressed Egyptian cotton sheets.
You won't go hungry here: breakfast (included in the rates) is a full-course sit-down affair in the Victorian dining room, and you're invited to help yourself to snacks and drinks throughout the day. Bg bonus – parking is free. There's a three-night minimum stay.
