DescriptionCascade gardens got excellent reviews. What were the reviews like for the other two? Well, let me see here. Sky Tower. They say the room is beautiful, but it's kind of expensive. And the room is a little small for more than 150 people. And if it's raining, you can't enjoy that view. But if it's raining, you can't enjoy the view at the gardens either. That's true.
What did you read about Misha's? It got good reviews, but there's one problem. There isn't a lot of street parking in that area. I agree. I would choose a place that has easy parking. How about if we do this? We could rent a nearby parking lot for the evening, but the money we save on the room rental, we can afford that. And it's still close to downtown.
What do you think about that? Dylan? I agree. I think that's a great compromise. I wish we could go with Misha's gallery. Okay, okay. You guys have convinced me. I've changed my mind. Actually, it is a great place. It's just that I love that view of Mount Rainier at the gardens, but I'll let it go.
Okay. I think we've all agreed. I'll let Michael know that we've reached this decision, and maybe we can let Emily know. I think it's a great choice.
