Oops! I just realizes I said we met at Lake Chelan last summer. Not sure why I did! I meant Lake Sammamish! Sorry 'bout that!!! I must have been on crack!
Soooo.....
Let's try again. I'd go most anywhere in the state, short of Spokane. And so far the only time I am looking at being unavailable is the last week of June thru the first week of July.

I agree with Rick, Spokane is not a good place to meet. How about Steamboat Rock, it is a nice large park, and its near Grand Coulee Dam. It still might be located a little farther than most are willing to drive. Here is the link:

Steamboat Rock is nice. A little isolated though, and out of the way (I'm thinking 3.5 hours for us Seattle folk).

Marymoor Park on Lk. Sammamish would probably be the most centrally located place for everyone.

My vote would be for some place around Bellingham or Anacortes, but that would be kinda far ffrom Eastern WA.

Bellingham or Anacortes should work for me, actually might work out great for me.

There is Lake Samish on the south side of Bellingham. Not sure what kind of parks are there, but I'd be willing to do a bit of exploring if that area sounded good to everyone.
This is the problem we had last year. Getting a spot that was a good comprimise for everyone. (I know we lost a few by choosing Lake Sammimish in Issaquah) So we'll just have to bounce this around a bit and see what the majority like and are willing to drive to.
I'd love to go this way(north end) if it meant we could get Greg Samuelson to bring his Unimog down from B.C.!! Are ya out there anymore Greg?

Lake Samish always looks really nice, from the freeway anyway. I'd be totally down with that location, and the drive up I-5 from north of Everett to Bellingham is nice and uncrowded (70-80 mph cruising all the way, y'all.)

I was thinking that we could maybe have two get togethers, one in March or April and another in July or August. This way in case someone can't make it to one, they can make it to the other.

Well, not an overwhelming response! But enough for a GTG in my book. Did get one response over in the diesel forum too.
So does up north still sound ok? If so, I'll try to take a run up there in the next couple weeks and scout around. Can't go this weekend, I'll be heading over to see some friends in Lake Chelan.
My summer is already narrowing down. My daughter is planning her wedding in "the middle of August", whatever that means. But that still leaves Most of June and July open, or we can do it a bit earlier as Eric suggested, in April or May. But seems May and early June are typically pretty wet around here, but this hasn't been a typical year either!

I'm definitely in - sorry I missed the one in August! Marymoor Park would great seeing as it's only about 20 min. from my place . Seriously though, plenty of open parking space to show off each other's rides - and some nice brewpubs nearly walking distance...

I'm pretty open to just about anywhere though (except Spokane), Chelan, Bellignham, Sammamish...

Regards,
- Ryan

Heck, let's have a winter gtg. Most points to the person w/the dirtiest Benz

I'm all for a Winter GTG, as long as there is enough interest. I would have won for having the dirtiest Benz if I didn't wash it a few weeks ago
