Where can an unaccompanied 14 year old traveler stay in Seattle and/or Vancouver, B.C.?

Question

And I'm not talking about some middle-aged dude's house.

Answer 1

I can't speak for Seattle, but as for Vancouver, most of the hostels and cheap hotels are located in the notoriously S****y DTES.  LOTS of crime, lots of drugs, lots of prostitution, lots of noise.  I've been mugged there, my friends have been mugged there, and my girlfriend has been mugged there, and I know I would slap any parent who let their 14 year old wander around there on their own.  You're better off knowing somebody.

Answer 2

A hotel or maybe a youth group. Sometimes youth groups have overnight camping.  But I'd suggest a friends house.

Answer 3

a hostel. Go to their Website, im know there's at least 1 in vancouver.

Answer 4

Camp out, Bring a hammock or a tent.  It's very easy to find a spot in washington even near seattle that you can set up camp.  Don't waste money at a hostel or hotel.  There is always www.couchsurfing.com you can choose who you stay with, check it out.

Answer 5

Would it be helpful to know about youth shelters?  Let me know and I can write you back with some.
