Leaving Wednesday and coming back Monday.Not sure of what we will be doing yet when up there. We may have a total of ten people going.

Going to try to find some LSU alum living up there or Washington people who's group we can join gameday. I don't think I can bring all of my tailgaiting stuff on the plane.

Going Thursday, Friday or Sunday going to Victoria via boat, staying around town maybe the Pike Center Mart and returning Monday. We will have 6 in our party. Questioned a few people in Seattle about the music thing and none knew anything about it. My husband has the home office for his company in Seattle and talked to a couple of them and didn't know anything.
Cann't wait to go.

Victoria is definitely a great side trip. Go see Buchart(sp) Gardens - I know I thought it would suck, too, but it's pretty nice.

Stop in Port Townsend on the way to Victoria. It's a beautiful little town on the water Whale watching trips can be fun, too.

Lived in Port Townsend for over a year. Definitely worth a stop as well as the whole Olympic Peninsula.

Best bet to see Victoria is to take the walk-on Clipper from Seattle pier for the day. If you do rent a car and have time drive up to MT.Rainier worth the 1.5 drive.Enjoy the Pacific Northwest its a different world.

all of that sounds great. we are planning to get there thursday and leave monday or tuesday. It just seems like there are so many different things to do. I'm really looking forward to the trip. Has anyone heard anything on what the ticket situation will be? I wonder how many season ticket holders will request tickets and how many will be denied.

Hurricane Ridge in Port Angeles is cool. You can take a ferry to Victoria from there too.

If going to Victoria make sure you take the first boat up. Its a gorgeous city, and if staying overnight I recommend the Empress Hotel. Any of the museums covering B.C. history are pretty interesting, a lot of native history as well.

Olympic National Park is awesome too. Take the Edmonds-Kingston Ferry and drive up through Sequim and Port Angeles. I also recommend a drive up Hurricane Ridge and bring a picnic lunch. Port Townsend is a nice place to stop between Kingston and Sequim for a bite to eat and some shopping.
