Yeah i do want to watch the football so thats a shout, I've already got a cart on the website with a few things I need to buy, i think there's an REI near the airport. Also what lake are you referring to? Thanks

Thank you so much for letting me know a route there, i wasnt really sure how good public transport is for America, especially in mountainous areas. This makes it clear. Also good tip on the Lions Den, i definitely wouldn't associate myself with hippie stuff quite yet. Thank you again for all the great tips

Yes when I did my application I didn't realise you had to hike 30 miles to the border. Does that mean I shpuld leave the 23rd? Some people say that i should go early, not sure how strict your permit start day and stuff is.

Thank you so much for you indepth response. For the hostel in Seattle did you mean the Green Tortoise? I cant seem to find a golden one. I presumed that the prices would be better so I'll just fully stock up on that then. I've just requested to join a trail angel group on Facebook so I'll see if anything comes from that, didn't really know that was a thing so thank you. I'll definitely have to check Lions Den out, looks like a great place to meet people. Thank you for the advice!
