No flight for me; I was just woken up out of a sound sleep to be told that it has been canceled. Instead, I agreed to drive to Seattle.

Stupid airlines.

That's very kind--thank you. I'll definitely keep it in mind. On the plus side, the refund for the flight I didn't use should roughly cover the cost of parking, so that's something.
