- path1ExplorerNot to many changes with RV parks near/around Seattle over the years. Except more in prices and traffic. Everything that turns up in a search for "Seattle" is 95% accurate as far as rv parks.

We have camped many months there over the past few years as our son lives by the airport in Kent.
I should have mentioned the city bus stops on the street in front of the campground and lots and lots of campers take it downtown - downtheroadExplorerLake Pleasant RV Park...Bothell WA
- Jay_PatExplorerLast summer, we stayed at Lake Pleasant Campground.
Drove about a mile or 2 to the bus station.
Caught the express bus to downtown (senior price). Got off at the first downtown stop. Walked about 3 blocks to the Monorail station.
Took the Monorail to the space needle.
Pat - BedlamModeratorDash Point Park in Federal Way. It may be tight for a 40' TH due to trees.
- Tom_BarbExplorerRemember the Space needle is downtown. There is light rail all along the I-5 corridor to downtown.

Only if you're coming from the south. From the north, there's a few BRT lines like the SWIFT or the "E-Line".
There's quite a few RV parks in the Lynnwood/Mukilteo/Everett area but of the most of them are 100% full due the construction at Boeing.
When doing a search, be sure to do separate searches for both "Campgrounds" and "RV Parks". Not all sites show up on both searches. I was lucky to find a space at North Sound RV Park because they only show under "campgrounds". - offtohavasuExplorer

Wait, Boeing is expanding up there, but closing in So. Cal...interesting. (end sarcasm) - pauldubExplorerMost of the parks in the Lynnwood/Mukilteo/Everett are within a few miles of my house and I wouldn't want to stay in most of them. Lake Pleasant in Bothell was recommended above and it would be my choice. Folks camp on the side of the street around here too if you want to be skanky. Depending upon your needs, you can overnight at Cabella's near Olympia on the south end or Tulalip on the north end.
- BedlamModeratorThere's also Wal-mart parking lot camping in the surrounding areas if you need a place to just overnight, but I wouldn't disconnect and leave your TH there.
Casinos are also an option. Snoqualmie, Tulalip and Muckleshoot offer free dry camping with registration while farther north Stillaguamish (Angel of the Winds) and Swinomish (Northern Lights) have paid camping with hookups.
