Where to Stay When Visiting Nintendo of America (Redmond)

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 5 min read

Nintendo of America's headquarters is in Redmond. The city core rides the Link; the Eastside is across the lake. Which side your campus is on decides the trip.

Direct answer: Visiting Nintendo of America's Redmond HQ (4600 150th Ave NE): stay in the Redmond area near the office. Stay in Redmond near Nintendo of America — the hotels here sit minutes from the campus, several within a short walk of Microsoft. Downtown Seattle is 30-plus minutes west across the lake and the wrong base for a Redmond visit. Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA) is about 35 minutes southwest of Redmond. One airport, and the Link 2 Line now reaches Redmond — but the Microsoft and Nintendo campuses sprawl, so a car or rideshare is the practical choice, especially from the airport.

Nintendo of America is the North American arm of the video-game company Nintendo, headquartered at 4600 150th Ave NE, Redmond, WA 98052. That's Redmond, on the Eastside east of Bellevue — home to Microsoft's vast campus and Nintendo of America, a car-oriented tech suburb now served by the Link 2 Line.
