We are excited to bring Propel to the Washington Conference!
Recommended Dining
Many hotels provide breakfast and lunch is provided each day of the conference. We encourage you to plan dinners with your team offsite to share what you learn each day. There are several options in the area to grab a quick meal, or enjoy a nicer sit-down restaurant experience. We've compiled a list below for you.
Places to Visit
The Pacific Northwest is beautiful all year, but especially in the spring! If you haven't visited the area in a while, or this is your first time here, there are a few places everyone should try to visit and experience firsthand. So consider adding an extra day to your trip and let us know which ones are your favorite!
SEA Airport
Puyallup, WA is about 40 minutes south of SeaTac Airport (SEA) Just south of Seattle, WA. (Note: In previous years travelers were recommended to fly into Portland. However, with the location change, it is 3+ hours away from the Propel Conference in 2025. If you're flying, you'll want to travel through SEA.)
Car Rentals
The NAD has arranged discounts for car rentals. Look at the national accounts page for discounts with Enterprise, Alamo, Avis, and Budget.
