Joe, Craig, Pete Lange--
EVERY time I get to the Seattle area, I call in advance and get a little crowd together. Last time I was there with lots of time, Dorian (pagoda113) picked me up and we "topped down" (yes in Seattle in November!)on backroads from Issaquah up to Woodinville, met a bunch of MBCA members at the Red Hook Brew Pub. We had about 20 people there, maybe more...and 3 Pagodas, some AMG's, SLK's etc. A great time was had by all.
I usually also reserve a little time with Pete Lange, and he's shown me some interesting places; so even when I don't have a lot of time I make some time to visit with Pete. Next time, with Craig, too!
Joe, you might not have any time for the ostensible reason you are going there! Bon Voyage!!
