Shar and I will be flying in to Seattle Saturday 9/3 and drive up to Vancouver from there. We'll stay in Vancouver until Wednesday 9/7 when we drive back down to Seattle staying there until we fly back out Friday morning, 9/9. It's our 10th anniversary, so I can't spend all my time with 914 whack-jobs, but Shar is pretty agreeable when it commes to my obsessions.
We've never been to either, so is there "must see" stuff we should visit? Side note: Rather than use our miles for the flight there and back, we used them to upgrade to first class. It isn't even a direct flight, but I don't care as long as they keep the drinks flowin... |

Actually, I did fly into Seattle once... at 10 p.m. Bought my truck and drove straight down to Portland to visit with Craig and Jim. Never did get to see Camp914 though. I don't think I can take that kind of time this trip. Camp will have to wait for WCC06.
Teener whack-jobs are everywhere! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) It's a mindset, not a locale. |

I'll be in Seattle then too, hell I live here. I think the latest club event for then is DaveHunts BBQ/fire the new engine that weekend.
What to see here or in VAnBC? I like the Chinatowns in both and go to DimSum at either town. Skip the chicken feet.... In Seattle throwing eggs at Bill Gates house is always fun.... Laborday weekend is Bumbershoot fest. which is always fun with food and lots of music. Wackjobs?? that would be KevinP (rhodyguy) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) I though Britan was moving up then and maybe Mueller was visiting then too?? WTF is everyone coming to Seattle for anyway?? |

Can I quote you on that? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) I'm assuming that's the GWN version of Vancouver...the younger one. |

pike place market is one of the must see things.
on your way back from BC take a detour at bellingham on chuckanut dr. it runs along the coast of puget sound. this will take you right back to I5 just north of mountvernon. google it or map quest fairhaven and you will find it. |

Hey Mike Come on down. CAMP is always open, if I have some notice that you will be here. A couple of guys form Holland showed up at my front dopor a few weeks ago. They wanted to see CAMP 914. I was at a cruzin about 20 miles away. They wanted to see the real CAMP, I gave them directions, they went up and took pics. Another fellow called the other day, he was from the Reno area, in town to drop his son off for college, wanted to see CAMP 914. Never did showup.

Speaking for myself, because I've seen a lot of at least the western half of the U.S. except for Oregon/Washington State. So you want to have dinner Wednesday night or what? |

You will love Vancouver, BC. You are getting good suggestions from Guy and I would recommend Troy's Puget Sound detour on the way back if time allows. See you here next summer. Better be driving a tangerine six!

I won't have time this trip to drive all the way down there Craig. We'll only be in Seattle for two days as it is. I'm hoping to see Camp either before or after WCC06. |

I bet no one attending WCC '06 will not see Camp!

Awesome. That I can do and that's the type of driving tips I like. Combine a necessary trip with some great sight seeing opportunities. Thanks! |

914 Wizard? No way. I got too much to learn. Group: Members Posts: 4,099 Joined: 21-April 03 From: Gig Harbor, WA Member No.: 598 |
If you are in downtown Seattle and want to do tourista consider the underground tour in Pioneer Square. Walk onto a ferry to Winslow and explore there and come back to see Puget Sound (don't take a car, too expensive). Take the monorail to Seattle Center and check out the Experience Music Center (wacko building but sort of a rock and roll hall of fame).
Maybe we could get the local guys together and hijack them for a trip to Redhook Brewery. Few twisties, food and beer. Dave |

Sounds great Dave, thanks. As for the twisties, we'll only actually be in Seattle wth any time Wednesday late afternoon/evening and all day/evening Thursday. If we could pull it off, it sounds good. |

i second dave on the ferry ride. you can't beat the view of seattle from there on a clear day with the cascades to the east and the olympics to the west.

On a clear summer day there is nothing more scenic than the Puget Sound area. Ferry ride and strolling the Seattle Piers and Pike Place Market would be #1 on my list for Seattle.
