Getting there

How do I get to THING?
By car
Most people drive to THING. The nearest major airport is SEA, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
No scheduled intercity bus or public transit route to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
Festival shuttle
THING's own site documents an official round-trip shuttle run by Wanderlie, with two pickup points: downtown Seattle (Summit Convention Center, 9th Ave) and Factoria Mall in Bellevue (northwest corner, by Novilhos Steakhouse). This isn't an airport shuttle a fly-in attendee would need to get from SEA into downtown Seattle or Bellevue first (via the 1 Line light rail or a rideshare), then catch this shuttle out to the farm, skipping parking entirely
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
Remlinger Farms is roughly 30 miles east of SEA. Rideshare/taxi direct from the airport is the simplest single-leg option, since Carnation itself has no transit connection
Book / info →Taxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
🅿 Parking
On site parking available. Parking is free at Remlinger Farms with 'acres available,' plus ADA-accessible spaces and bike parking. The festival's FAQ actively encourages carpooling and promotes its official Wanderlie shuttle as an alternative to driving
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at SEA
Rural farm venue with free on-site parking and no rail/bus service to Carnation car hire is a solid option for fly-in attendees not using the official Wanderlie shuttle from Seattle or Bellevue

Camping & Accommodation
Where can I stay near THING?
No on site camping. Here is where to stay nearby.
Budget stays 2
In Redmond, roughly 15-20 miles from Remlinger Farms and on the way in from SEA the closest budget option to the venue itself. Free breakfast, WiFi, and parking; also runs a local area shuttle (not festival-affiliated)
≈ $97-169 / night approx, book direct with the hotel
Book direct →Within about 2 miles of the Factoria Mall Wanderlie pickup point convenient for attendees using the official shuttle rather than driving to the venue
≈ $110-150 / night approx, book direct with the hotel
Book direct →Mid-range hotels 2
Off Highway 520 in Redmond, roughly 15 miles from downtown Seattle and a similar distance from the venue free hot breakfast, indoor pool, and a light rail station within 5 minutes
≈ $160-220 / night approx, book direct with the hotel
Book direct →Near I-90 in Bellevue, about a 10-15 min drive from the Factoria Mall Wanderlie pickup point. Free breakfast, indoor pool, free self-parking
≈ $170-230 / night approx, book direct with the hotel
Book direct →Luxe hotels 1
The Pacific Northwest's signature luxury lodge, perched over Snoqualmie Falls roughly 15-20 miles from Remlinger Farms a scenic splurge option that pairs the festival with the falls. Nightly lodge fee (valet parking, welcome beverage, WiFi) is included in the rate
≈ $479-749 / night approx, book direct with the hotel
Book direct →Airbnb & private camping
The Snoqualmie Valley / Carnation area has modest but real short-term-rental supply, concentrated more around Snoqualmie and Fall City than Carnation itself; Seattle and Bellevue (the two official shuttle pickup cities) have much deeper inventory for attendees preferring to base there and ride the shuttle out
Search Airbnb →THING's own official Lodging & Shuttles page actively curates nearby camping as its recommended overnight option for this non-camping venue, headlined by Girl Scouts of Western Washington's Camp River Ranch (about 5 minutes from the festival grounds) plus a list of alternative campgrounds including Honeysuckle Hollow which the festival's own page notes runs its own round-trip shuttle to Remlinger Farms Tolt-MacDonald Park, and Tall Chief RV Resort.
