Matt: I just finished her up and will now be making it. Where/what time should the East Crew meet up with you? We've got three so far. As you know, we'll be coming in on 90 and will take I5 down. You still have my number?
Offical: 2011 PacNW Centralia Meet & Greet - May 14th! (Saturday)

Allow me to be serious for a moment... If your location is correct, it shouldn't be a big deal for the crew from north of you to swing over and pick you up. I could easily take I405 east of Seattle and merge back into I5 at Seatac. Adds 6 whole kilometers to the trip, and from my perspective, there's not much difference between 710km and 716km.wetboosteddreams;1709656 said:
6 km? I'll drive that far out of my way to get ice cream. If you need the lift, let me know, I've got a spare seat. 3 actually, but I've rarely forced anyone over the age of 10 into the back of a Supra.
I am down to head over to Bothell. We then can meet up with Kenny and his crew.
Yeah Kenny I still have your number. Just need to find a good spot to meet up with you guys.

So I am going to be at the Best Buy in Burlington at 8am. Dave you going to meet me? Kenny I will call you around 10am
8am seems a bit early by my calculations...
Burlington to Bothell is ~ 60 minutes
Bothell to I5 & I90 is ~30 minutes
I5 & I90 to Centralia is ~90 minutes
By that clock, we don't have to be leaving Burlington until about 9am. 'Tis ok though, this leaves us some room to spare. I'll see you there.

I will be there. Heres the meet spot I am meeting at. Usually leave there around 10:30-11ish, best to be early. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sou...8th+St,+Tacoma,+Pierce,+Washington+98409&z=16. My uncle in his MKII and I will be there. My Supra has some body damage but it's still driveable so I am there 
... Rear quarter panels are not the easiest to fix unfortunately :/

Yeah the is Major construction in Seattle. They closed down the viaduct completely. There is also a Sounders game at 1030am so that is why the extra time. we "should miss alot by going I 405 , but you never know.
Great time! Good food, good people, nice cars... can't get a whole lot better than that. Oddly enough I brought a camera, but never even pulled it out of my pocket, I was so busy talking to folks from all over. Nice to finally take some time to talk to Jim Sr - he's full of great stories. Mark, thanks for lunch, Serena, thanks for the company on the drive - the route from Burlington north was a near snooze fest, until the rain hit, then it was a white knuckle hydroplaning magic carpet ride! I had to pull over into the slow lane and keep my speed below 40mph.
To everyone who bailed because of the weather - HA! It was awesome for the whole show, you missed out.

^^ Yeah I looked at the forecast last night - said 70% chance of rain... woke up this morning about 6:30 and the sun was out It was perfect weather! It was great to meet several very nice folks that I had never met before and of course it was great to see you again Kenny - I will make the drive the other way the next time we see each other, especially after hearing how bad your drive back across white pass was...
I took a few pics, I will post after I get them uploaded to PB... (DISREGARD - weren't that great and no as many as I thought I took... not really worth posting I don't think...)
Thank You to all who helped make this happen - Charles

Many thanks to the weather gods for providing us with some decent weather...my neck is a little warm from getting a few rays! Great to see everyone, and meet some new faces. See you all in Canada eh?!

It was a good time, frankly the best parts for me were the drive down and the drive back. Centralia to Sedro Woolley in 2 hours.
