I thought I might start a thread and see who all from the south end would like to meet up on the morning of the Meeting somewhere and cruise in together, maybe at the kent station or something? any ideas?

Ok so here is the info's and arial photos for everyone, I'll include addresses for those of us with NAVI, Also if you have FRS/GMRS Radios be sure to bring them channel 5 (no sub channel)


Address for Parking in Seattle:
2288 6th Ave, Seattle, Washington

Easy directions. From 1-5 N take the Seneca st. exit. right off the exit (youll be on 6th) , follow that until the Impark parking lot on the left on 6th and Bell.

Address for park in shoreline:
2101 Northwest 190th Street, Shoreline, Washington

Heading North on I-5, take the N. 175th exit (exit #176?)
Take a Left and head West on 175th.
At Aurora Ave N, take a Right.
At 185th, take a Left.
Follow that road (it becomes Richmond Beach Rd.) for couple miles; it winds a bit.
At 20th Ave NW, take a Left.
Follow for a few blocks to the entrance of the beach. You can't miss it. The road will then wind down a steep hill. At the bottom is the parking lot we plan to meet at.

actually on second thought. My work parking lot is fine to meet up at.

Bell St & 6th Ave, Seattle, King, Washington 98121

plug that into google maps. Its a pay to park but its my work lot and youll be fine if you're around your car. Has plenty of room on saturdays. It's perfectly ok to park there for a half hour or so and head out from there.

I'm off at about 10:15am you guys can pick any time after that to meet up there with me.

easy directions. From 1-5 (you'll all be going north) take the Seneca st. exit. right off the exit (youll be on 6th) , follow that until the Impark parking lot on the left on 6th and Bell.

Let me know if that works for you guys.

EDIT: This will give us more time to cruise :)

Directions to Richmond Beach Park:

Heading North on I-5, take the N. 175th exit (exit #176?)
Take a Left and head West on 175th.
At Aurora Ave N, take a Right.
At 185th, take a Left.
Follow that road (it becomes Richmond Beach Rd.) for couple miles; it winds a bit.

Mike: No worries, I appreciate the assistance :)

Nick: That sounds good, if a few of us can park there that will work, and since the others are going to meet in tacoma I'll just meet up with them at your work

Angie: Thanks for the directions!!

BZinn1
01-20-2009, 05:40 AM
I think I can find my way with directions like that pretty easy.......sounds like a plan......as it gets closer I will arrainge the meet at Tacoma MG spot for the southenders to meet up in seattle at Nicks work then head up from there......smaller groups tend to be easier to get around when you are following directions.

nonmindo
01-20-2009, 03:40 PM
We might also want to follow suit with the usual FRS radios that we so often use in our convoy's

Also if no one else would like to step up for this, I have a new Nav unit and could Lead the way from seattle....but be warned i've never led a convoy before, only 1 or 2 cars

02-07-2009, 02:29 PM
EDIT: What the hell are yuo doing up at 6:30am on a Saturday?! ^^

Got some news, I won't be able to cruise up with you guys. If some of you want to still meet up in the parking lot that is fine with me, I just wont be able to get out there in time.

Got a call late last night saying I need to be here a little longer than expected so if ya'll wanna skip the seattle spot that's fine.

Sorry about the late notice, nothing is ever garunteed in the radio business :(

I'll have to meet up everyone at richmond.

Again, sorry for the late notice. Gotta do what my job calls for in times like these :)

Matthews_Lewis_Racing6226

02-07-2009, 03:40 PM
I'm sure we'll be hanging out there more than a few hours anyway, so if you gotta work late that's not a big deal. We'll probably be taking pics the entire time anyway so I'm sure you'll make it into atleast some of the shots LOL I just can't wait to get pics of the WHOLE group!!! :-) I hope we get a good showing ...

I'm also hoping that there's nothing going on down there today that packs the lot. Oh and just so everyone knows ... we probably won't be the first to show (depending which ferry we make) so if you can grab an area with the most space that would be fantastic! We liked having the rear portion back there, so that would be my first choice if it's clear for atleast 20 cars ....

Time to stop being sick and lazy and go wash the cars now. :roll:

See everyone soon!!! :D
