Seattle area folks
I am flying out to Seattle next Saturday (3/13) and will be there for a week. (out on the 21st). Thought it would be cool to get together with some fellow YT folks while I was there, either for some wheelin or just pizza and beer and BSing. I will probably have use of my friends Jeep or can ride along if people want to go do a trail somewhere close. Otherwise I thought we could just meet up in town somewhere for drinks and/or dinner, put names to faces, and swap over-exagerated stories about 4x4s. Best day to do a trail for me would probably be friday the 19th, but I know it's a work day for most so I'm open to suggestions. Let me know.

Greg,
We'll have to get something going for when you're here.
As for taking a ride off-road, my best guess is that the weekend will be the best chance. I've got family coming in next weekend (for the baby shower), but the last weekend you're here just might work.
Is your friend in Seattle, or north/south/east/west...? I work downtown, might be fun to meet for lunch.

My buddy lives in Maple Valley, so I'll be staying there, but driving is no big deal. Around here it's a hour drive to the grocery store, so I'm used to being on the road, and when I lived out there I commuted from Kent to Olympia everyday for about a year. (what was I thinking) I figure a couple hours in any direction is no big deal for me if a bunch of people want to get together. Saturday may work for me, I really don't have much planned beyond visiting friends and dropping off a couple resumes, but my GF is coming along so I'll have to see if she has an itinerary for me. Anybody else up for a get together?

Greg,
I'm up for it. A trail run might be a little tough for me- my GF and I are starting to move on the Monday after you get in (15th) so we'll be pretty busy packing and such during the weekends. I also work downtown Seattle, so meeting up for lunch during the week would work too.

Absolutely.
I am also pretty well booked up for trying to fit a run in, but dinner would be great. Wednesday night is bad for me, but any other night could be arranged.

I know many places are still snowed in, and the Jeep I have to use is a stock Wrangler, so I would be pretty limited even if we did try a run. Sounds like dinner would work for most. Wed. is out for Rob, anyone else have conflicts? And how about suggestions for where. The only place I frequented is down in Milton, which would be very convenient for Gibby if he decides to join us, but might be a bit of a drive for the guys up north. Any suggestions in or around Seattle that would have some room for a group and decent food and drink, or are most folks south of the city anyway?

I have no transportation right now but its good to see that when I finally do there are enough people in the NW to set up a trail run. I am over on whidbey-island and am 100% unemployed so ANYTIME works for me.

i think i might already be going up on the 20th to Reiters with a couple of SNORT4x4 guys (maybe, assuming it gets planned) might be nice to meet up with some yotatech guys for once.
Also, not to hijack the thread (sorry) but WATRD, you live in Duvall? havn't seen you around.

Dinner is good. I was starting to think Bucca di Beppos would be good for our potential big group, but their atmosphere is pretty noisy so we wouldn't be able to chat a whole lot.
I just went to the Azteca in Bellevue last week...that place is huge and would fit us well.
Anyone have food preferences...? And night preferances...? (Wed. is also out for me...lamaz-type class )
