I will make myself available.  May have to run out for son's football game on Saturday if they make the playoff's.  Please let me know how I can help.

I'm in Southern California.  Our weather is great in the fall and I would be happy to host!!

[calamity]

Wontgiveup--think we are going to Seattle this time.  Seem to be quite a few people here.  You are welcome to come. 

There will be rain. 

Welcome to the board by the way WGU.   

And, if anyone cannot make it to Seattle, could you please have a meet up in California next?  I'd love to go to California. 

I am in for Nov. 3rd weekend in Seattle.  Is the date okay with everyone?

I will be at a women's church retreat that weekend. Sorry. Sounds great and looking forward to the next one.  Maybe December ?

[theheartknows]

 Yes!! the next one needs to be in California!!!Won't Give Up,  Finding Hope and I are here in Southern Calif as well. Maybe we should plan a mini meet up, soon!!

No amphibious duck car--that was one of my initial thoughts! They are quacking! But wow you've got a lot of great ideas. Pike Place is always a great stop--and free to just walk around.
I think that weekend should work for me as well--though I will commute daily from Tacoma--so any ideas on where to park my car that won't break the bank since I imagine I'll be parked all day? Or will we be driving around a lot? Oh wait, I just remembered...my car is not running and it might be junk if we can't get a new engine.
So I can take the bus--I just need to know where we are meeting or I could bus to someone's house or motel. I might have the truck if Sweetheart is home--but we think he will be working on weekends, so that's unlikely and if I do have it I won't be able to transport more than one other person if we do drive around.
How about the Pacific Science Center or ither stuff at the Seattle Center--was that on the list?
And I have not been to EMP--that would be so cool.

Oh I cant make it but I am requesting someone be the staff photographer so the rest of us can live vicariously through  pictures.

RCR: EMP for sure. It's so fun. I haven't been in ages...and we can walk around there and do Science center or just go eat. I will keep a list and if there is ever a dull moment, we can all just refer to it. Ha!

Depending on how many come and/or where everyone is staying, I would like to keep Capitol Hill the base meeting place (north east side, not west) just because it is safe, calm, and there is parking (although not on the west side of Capitol Hill). We can go downtown from here quickly or over to ballard easily or down to lake washington or the university area. Or jump on the freeway if we decide to head out to Mount Rainier or something crazy like that.

OP. I am usually ver happy to hang behind the camera...and take thousands of photos. Especially good at not using flash. I will see what I can do! And if it means I don't have to be in the photo myself, then for sure you can count on me! muhwaaha.
