Going to Seattle- first time

[I was NITRO BREATH]

We are flying in to Seattle on Friday night staying in Seattle Saturday and driving down to the race on Sunday. Got a place to stay not too far from the track. We only have 4 days to spend after the race. Wanted to see Mt Rainier but it looks really crowded and need timed reservation to enter. Olympia looks a little less crowded. Someone suggested Olympia state forest. Looking for suggestions ….

Go to Boeing, you can tour the plant and museum, if you're an airplane guy, or just a how do they build those things guy, it's pretty cool.

Going to see the "Locks" in Seattle is kind of interesting (to Me anyway).

Barry, all these places are a easy drive.
Olympia, that is the state capital nothing really to see there. Now the Olympic National park and Forest a 3 hour drive, but
really nice. Plan on spending the night. Rest of the listing, easy drive 30 min, 45 min, 1 hour

Thanks for all this Jim. I should have been more specific. I meant Olympia national park. Not the city.

Take a day cruise to the San Juans

Thank you, Jim and Chris.

Robin, If you go to Boeing just be careful when you enter the building the doors don't fall out and hit you.

 

[robinjackson]

Thanks for that, Harry. Funnily enough, I have booked a Boeing factory tour while I'm in Seattle.

But first, though, I've got to fly there... on a 787.

I know this is a family oriented site but man I had a good laugh at the double entendre

That's a running joke around here. "Gonna get ma a bag of Dick's". (Personally, I don't see the attraction, but then I'm not crazy about 'In-n-Out' either.)

 

[I was NITRO BREATH]

Thanks everyone for the great recommendations. I will check in when I get back and let you know how it went.....

Hit up 'Taco Time'.

[mick]
