Seattle / Vancouver

[CamarosRus]

Hello, I am a Seattle native who lives in the burbs these days. I work "on the waterfront" unloading the container ships where you see those HUGE Orange cranes in above picture. If I can be of any help in suggestions or opinions , please communicate.
If you have it decided to go to Vancouver,BC and Seattle so be it.......but you might want to consider the dramatically scenic Oregon Coast, Columbia river gorge(voted in top ten scenic drives in America) Mt St Helens volcano viewing and Mt Rainier Natl park.......as well as all the stuff in metro seattle to include The Museum of Flight, Boeing factory tour in Everett,Wa, ete, etc....I'd suggest yo find web site for Seattle-King County visitors/cconvention bureau and also Wash state visitors info...........

If you go to the Columbia River Gorge...tour Bonneville Dam and check out the Multnomah Falls Scenic route, too! It's worth the drive!

If your in the Vancouver area you have to hit Whistler, very nice spot settled right smack dab between the mountains!!

If you have the option to go a little earlier, like 09/10th there is a huge car show in Langley B.C. Called the.. Langley Good Times Cruise-in. It is a huge event with no less than 3500 cars, Dennis Gage from My classic car was here 3 years ago to tape a show. And the show has even gotten bigger since then. Langley is 10 min from the border where you cross from WA. state to go to Vancouver B.C.
Your best bet would be to rent a car in Seattle and drive up the I5 straight to Vancouver 1 1/2 hours drive. Once you reach the border Langley is 10 min, Vancouver is 30min , Whistler is 2 hours.
If you would like more info, I would be happy to help.

Thanks to all for some input.

Ken, oh how I wish I would have known about this car show! Probably won't be able to swing it with flights already in place. Sounds like an amazing show. Hope you take some pictures and share on this site.
