Looking like Governor Inslee is doing his best to ruin this trip

He just came out with some pretty stiff Covid restrictions
Yep. You still making the trip? Weed stores are considered essential, at least.

The shutdown technically ends a few days before my trip, but I'm fully anticipating on it getting pushed back through the New Year.

If the shutdown gets push back and I can get the majority of my money refunded I'll probably cancel. I particularly enjoy the food scene on trips, so the no indoor dining at restaurants is kind of a killer for me.

I don't blame you, and frankly, our state deserves to lose your money over this idiocy. Hope you'll try again when shite calms down.

I'm fairly certain I will. The PNW has interested me for awhile so I'd kick myself if I didn't give it another go.

You might enjoy it more in the summer anyway.

I did a Washington trip in August. Mostly outdoor activities because Covid. Hit Seattle, Mt. Ranier, North Cascades for a few days hiking then up to Bellingham / Artist Point.

I tell everyone I know to visit in Aug. The weather is amazing AND predictable.

I'll look into this.

The problem is my girlfriend/travel partner is currently in med school, so it's a bit harder for her to find dates that would work. We'll give it a shot though.

Last 2 weeks of July to 1st 2 weeks of September is a good window that might make it easier.

Looking like the only other time we may have available to go is Mardi Gras week (mid-February). Being that Mardi Gras is cancelled in Nola anyway, this may not be the worst idea for us.

I realize there's better weather times to go, but I'll be sure to enjoy it regardless.

Days are short in late December..... dark by 4 pacific.

We usually do a long weekend during the Christmas break in Seattle, but I'll be damned if I'm going there with all their ridiculous rules right now.

That sounds like a terrible idea. I have a daughter in Seattle, and late December is a BAD time to visit. It will be rainy and in the low 40’s. Yuk! Not good hiking weather, either.

Contrary to what folks are telling you, Seattle is a wonderful place to visit in the summer. The bums downtown are a drag, but stay by the waterfront and you’ll avoid most of that. And there’s great hiking all around Seattle.

I went to Seattle a few weeks ago, and man, there are some loons there. I’d say about 95% of folks walking outside had masks on, and they went out of their way to signal to me that I was a deplorable for not wearing a mask. You know, party of science and stuff.
