I hate to do this so late in the game, but can we begin to consider our rain-date options? Thanks, N Hey all:

I’ve a fast developing family problem that may spill over into Sunday.

I hate to do this so late in the game, but can we begin to consider our rain-date options?

Thanks,

N

I'm still planning to meet Nikos at 10:30 at the Port Townsend ferry dock and ride over to Whidbey on the 11:15 and up up to Anacortes to pick you up. If there aren't any big unknowns, we should be there by 12:30 to 1 pm. Then we mosey back downtown to see who else shows up. Fingers crossed! See ya both soon. Nikos, I'll forward you my cell phone #. PS: We know you can’t get to Port Townsend.

I'm to arrive in Anacortes 12:15 correct? (I know I wrote it down somewhere) The next is 2:45 and comes from Victoria so I'd have to go through customs. I'd prefer to avoid that one. Babu I don't think I can get to Port Townsend for a day trip. It would be 2 ferry rides and a streach of road without a car each way. Though I agree PT is very charming. It is slightly misleading to call this a Seattle Meet-Up - Seattle is to Friday Harbor as Boston is to some little Island in Maine. I’m just studying the ferry schedule.

You'd have to explain that the two of us are car-pooling from Port Townsend on the 11:15 ferry to Keystone. This is not exactly the direct route from Seattle or points east and north. But it would be fun if others kept me company on the oh so scenic route across Agate Pass and the Hood Canal and then we COULD all meet up in Port Townsend. Cheesechowmein? Oceanconcepts? NineInchNachos? Thermos? emmettoconnell? Scarequotes? jboylan? jmartenstein? bookgirl? bixgomez? Nikos

The comprehensive inanity of the new Washington State tourism slogan – ‘Say WA?’ – only confirms my suspicion that Northwesterners prefer to keep their naturally stupendous lands shrouded in dispiriting talk of rain, rain, rain, and every other conceivable discouragement. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5353303 Despite their protestations to the contrary, they don’t actually <i>want</i> anyone to visit the place. (Which suits me, a newcomer, fine – but that doesn’t get <i>you</i> off the hook, Brendan. We’ll see you soon!) 3. Mount Baker is stunning, and I get to see it every day -- well, every day it's not overcast, anyway. 4. Who's joining us? I need to know in advance to plot which family vehicle to commandeer. 1. babu, that is one gorgeous map.
