Childcare

During workshop hours, we will provide supervised activities at the Washington State Convention Center for children of toddler through elementary age. The cost is $40 - $10 per day sliding scale. Please pay for child care at the registration table when you arrive for the day.

Because we believe that children of all ages benefit from interactive role-modeling opportunities, we welcome and encourage older kids and teens to assist in the children’s activities as well.

The children's area will be close to the family workshop rooms. Our childcare coordinators are CPR certified, have completed an extensive background check, and will be present at all times to supervise childcare staff. For further information or questions, email info@genderspectrumfamily.org.

Host Hotel

We are pleased to return to the Broadway Silver Cloud Hotel as our host hotel. The conference rate is $125 for a standard room before August 1st. We encourage you to make reservations as early as possible. Labor Day weekend is a busy time for Seattle hotels, and last year we sold out our room block.

This room rate includes:

  • buffet continental breakfast
  • high speed Internet access in guest rooms
  • free local phone calls
  • courtesy shuttle to the convention center
  • indoor swimming pool, spa, and fitness room

Online reservations are available: make yours as soon as possible to get the Gender Spectrum group rate. On the Silver Cloud Hotel reservations page, select "Group" in the list, then click "continue". The group number and password are both "GENDER08".

For phone reservations, call 800-590-1801 or 206-325-1400 and tell them you're with the Gender Spectrum conference. The group number is "GENDER08."

Note: We will provide limited complimentary shuttle service between the hotel and all conference venues Friday through Sunday.
