re: Jan 6 protest
Checked Expedia.com last night and hotel rooms were available in Southwest DC in the $100-$150 range. Hoping to see many of us (FR) participate in D.C. on January 6...like 1 to 2 million people is doable.
Areas were District Wharf (waterfront), and Capitol Hill/Navy Yard, about 3/5 mile from the Mall.
Also Crystal City, VA, about 2 mile walk to the Mall, room rates as low as $84 available (plus taxes & fees)
Parking garage spots can still be reserved thru various parking apps below...

You can't walk into the city from Crystal City. It's on the other side of the Potomac. You can take the Metro though. Pretty convenient and always used to be safe...who knows now though. But if I had my druthers I'd stay in Crystal City. Maybe use Uber or Lyft.
A friend of mine booked a bus down to DC for the 6th. I could have had a ride down and back. Job comes first.
