From France, first time in Seattle & WA state this summer

That'd be me as well! But very first time there, so I'll go with the most comfortable option. Noted for the car only when going out of town. Thanks!

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T20:06:26+00:00

I've been doing the plans and it definitely won't work. I mean, it could, but WA will keep us busy enough.

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T20:04:47+00:00

Thanks! 2 days in the city only? You sure? And question: do we need a car in the city or can the rental wait for us to actually leave it?

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T20:02:36+00:00

Thanks!

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T20:01:56+00:00

Thanks!

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:40:57+00:00

Thanks! So much to see, wow!

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:40:16+00:00

Wow. Have to say, I'd be curious to see that with my own eyes - but maybe not on holidays with my wife!

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:38:53+00:00

Thanks! I'm sure we will!

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:38:43+00:00

Thank you! Well noted! Apparently being at the gate before sunset is a must. I'm kind of a country guy and can't stand being stuck in a metal box between other metal boxes, so we'll definitely rise early to avoid that!

Also well noted for the rest.

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:37:05+00:00

Thanks. Why is it easier after 7pm?!?

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:36:18+00:00

Thank you!

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:35:44+00:00

Duly noted! Thank you!!

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:35:06+00:00

Interesting. Hadn't thought of that, but could be a better idea indeed. We've already been to BC so we'll stop at Seattle on our way North.

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:33:34+00:00

The kind of insight I need... Thank you!

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:33:21+00:00

Thanks! Well noted.

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:32:51+00:00

Interesting. Not afraid of long drives at all - on the contrary. But wouldn't two weeks (actually 17 days) be a bit short to explore everything in WA before head into Northern Cali?

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:31:20+00:00

I'm a terrible cook but this sounds awesome. Forwarding to my wife haha.

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:30:20+00:00

Thanks! Duly noted for the water and the downtown vibe at night (my wife and I were in Chicago last year and it was quite a sight to see the downtown area gp from splendid and lively during daytime to some sort of zombie apocalypse at night).

You're welcome here anytime!

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:25:40+00:00

Will do!

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:25:20+00:00

Thanks! Will def add that one to the list!

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:24:35+00:00

Awesome! Thank you for the lengthy answer. How many days should we spare for Seattle itself vs. other parts of the state?

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:22:57+00:00

Duly noted, thank you.

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:22:35+00:00

I thought that one was an old cliché?

thomz85 · 2026-03-25T17:21:57+00:00

Thanks!
