2008 Seattle Home Show 2 - Home Show Tips for Visitors

HomeSavvi was at the 2008 Seattle Home Show 2, at Qwest Field Event Center from October 16–19, 2008. Some of the highlights of the show were the free hourly seminars ("Going Green Without the Greenbacks" presented by Eleanor Olsen, Total Spaces Design, Member of NKBA), the amazing kitchen and bath exhibits, and wide array of new green products. One product that particularly stood out was the impressive and modern Divine™ ExactTemp 3/4" Vertical Spa Set, in Lighting Universe's booth.

Seattle Home Show Visitors- Savvi Tips

Savvi Tip #1: Future Seattle Home Show visitors- buy your tickets online. E-ticket holders may have certain offers, coupons, or discounts that you can't have if you buy your ticket at the door. For example, the previous spring Seattle Home Show e-ticket holders received a free chowder voucher, while Seattle Home Show 2 e-ticket holders received free parking for Thursday and Friday at the Qwest Field Event Center parking lot (a $10 value).

Savvi Tip #2: You can register for an additional day without cost. It's called the “Too much to see, come back for free.™” feature, which allows show visitors to register their ID at the show so that they can visit for a second day. This comes in handy, especially if you would like to get more information about a product or show your spouse remodeling plan ideas at a later time.

Savvi Tip #3: Be aware of any other perks or promotions that you can take advantage of by visiting the Seattle Home Show media portion, "Facts at a Glance". One little known perk at the Seattle Home Show 2 was that with four or more people in a vehicle, parking was free in designated lots.
