Seattle - Where to park my plane

Visiting my daughter in downtown Seattle in mid-August. Need to park my plane for 10 days. Had planned to leave it in Arlington, but I see that will overlap with the Fly-In, and I'd rather not leave my plane unattended in that crowd. Any advice on alternate airports near Seattle for an inexpensive tie-down August 13-23?
 
Snohomish

If you're looking for something a bit out of the city, try Harvey Field - maybe a 45 min drive to downtown Seattle. I believe it's $5/night.
 
Seattle

What about Bremerton, there used to be a fast ferry 40 min from Port Orchard just down the road to downtown Seattle.
You would need to check on this as my info was from a nice holiday 20 plus years ago visiting from England

Boeing Field (BFI) and Renton (RNT) are closest to downtown, but only have a few transient spaces (call ahead)

Harvey field in Snohomish is closer than Arlington and you can choose grass or paved runways

Auburn (S50) a few miles south, usually has plenty of tiedowns for $5 a night, also a motel, restaurants and a casino right outside the south gate.

Thanks

Thanks for all the responses. Looks like I have several good options to consider now.
 
KBFI is closest and I dont think transient parking is more than 10 per day. There will be open space I'm sure of it. I know NE end of the field has one and SW has at least 5 spots and I've not seen them all full.
