Pacific Northwest Peoples: Incoming!
I know, I know. I’m far too predictable. Jenn and Jim move to Washington state, and here I am, hopping on a plane. What can I say? I’m a creature of habit. And if that means crossing the country to hang out with Jenn and Jim and their critters, then so be it.
I will be in the area from the evening of 11.25 (the Monday before Thanksgiving) to the evening of 12.04 (the Wednesday after Thanksgiving). Thanksgiving weekend itself is pretty full, but I suspect I will have a lot of free time to roam about the rest of my visit, as Jenn has that whole job thing to keep her busy.
I will be car-enabled. I will have a GPS. I will have gas money. I may even have yarn money. So, my questions are thus:
- I have friends in Seattle, Vancouver (both WA and Canada), and Portland. Do any of you want to get together? (Ideally, with the Vancouver(s) or Portland, a place to crash overnight would be available, but not absolutely necessary.)
- Keeping in mind my limitations, what are some things I absolutely must go see or do or places to eat?
- (You knew this was coming.) What yarn stores must I visit?
- Whatever else I’ve forgotten that you think I should know.
I’d love to see some folks, so long as everyone is ok with keeping it low-key. I’m going to have two straight weeks of people (Jer & Shama are arriving in the DC area the day I get back), and I’d like to see if I can manage it without collapsing for a week when it’s all over. 🙂 (And if you don’t want to see me, or times don’t work out, or you don’t live in the area any more, but still have some advice for what I should see / do, I’d love to hear from you, too!)
Ping me via whatever means is handy for you, and we’ll see if we can’t work something out.
Aloha!
