I need to book a Saturday night to see my Friend play the against the Jets. Where do I stay that is close to the stadium but also close to the Flying fish and space needle and not far from the airport? I most likely use Priceline. Also do I need to book a car or cab it?

Your want to be near the Space Needle or downtown. In Priceline, the primary zones you should work with are Space Needle, Lake Union, and downtown.
I would skip the car. Take the train from SeaTac airport to downtown Seattle. If you wind up in a downtown hotel you should be within walking distance of the hotel. If you're in Lake Union or Space Needle areas, get off the train at Westlake (last stop for the train anyway), then hail a cab to your hotel. Or if you want the exercise walk it.
For the game if you are downtown, you can easily walk to Qwest Field. If you are in Lake Union or Space Needle area, either take a cab or a bus.

Most of the time we stay at the Marriott Courtyard Lake Union and get a city view room that includes a really good view of the Space Needle. There is also a restaurant on the first floor for a quick bite.
Marriott Courtyard has a Pioneer Square location really close to the stadiums.

Thank you both. Real great advice might make this a sticky

Our favorite hotel in Seattle is the Grand Hyatt which is right downtown. It is convenient to everything and is very nice. The airporter bus stops and picks up right at the door.

Good point about the Airporter Bus. Since I have no need for the bus, I often forget about that service.Originally Posted by JWC

I went with the ease of using the train form the air port to Downtown and since I am going to the game I like the idea of walking there. I used Priceline and got A Nobble house Hotel for $129 a night $157 with all taxes and fees in. http://www.edgewaterhotel.com/ Now I just have to worry about getting to the space needle and the flying fish market, Time is limited I am coming in Saturday at 11am and leaving on a red eye at 1am Monday morning.
Do I need to buy any train tickets or passes for the space needle. BTW what is the space Needle?

We stayed at the Edgewater twice in 2006. It was very nice. We walked to the Space Needle, but it is a steep uphill climb. We also walked to the market.
Enjoy your stay,

YUP, its all uphill from the waterfront. If you get a room with a window you could fish for squid or Mudshark.lol
That there is the link to Frank z's old story of the Edgewater Inn.
