blurry pic as example


well just got an email that says only full timers get to use the parking garages as of next week and i'm now forced to park at a church that is a 10 minute drive away. and take a shuttle to and fro that only seats 9 people.

thanks for adding an extra 20-40 minutes to my daily commute that's already over 2 hours long.

and venting over.

I feel you brotha.. commute from Marysville to Kent daily. Even waking up at 4, and a modified schedule of 6-3pm, I still don't get home until after 4.

Would love to stay north of kirkland because my fiancee is going through the nursing program at EVCC, and transferring to UWB (my alma mater!). Love Bothell, but it's starting to creep up in $$$. Especially since the college and recent down town renovations are starting to shape that place up from quaint town to kirkland contender

With the Smart Key system, yes. Just lock it with the tiny mechanical key supplied in the fob and go. I do that in the hybrids to keep HVAC running with the dog aboard while I'm on errands.

oh really? I can reach out to him. Can you get me his contact info? Sounds like a good spot for all of us to meet up there.

I msg him in fb, but no response yet. Maybe we can inquire with the airport directly

I am putting on a 2 day autocross event where drifting will be allowed aimed at beginners March 21st and 22nd, it will be at dallesport airport, $50 for one day, $85 for 2 there will be nothing to worry about hitting besides cones, everyone is welcome to come, the more the merrier. Camping is allowed onsite and is free. Spectators and ride alongs are free Tandem will not be allowed for insurance reasons, I am trying to keep it cheap. One thing is for sure, you will get a ton of seat time for your money! Pm me if you have anymore questions
