I made a placeholder OpenTable res for 6 pax at Toulouse Petit for 7pm on Saturday, and emailed them per their website to say it might be a slightly larger group of everyone who expressed interest, shows up.

EDIT: they went ahead and bumped it to 10 (I counted everyone who expressed interest), but requested that we give them an accurate headcount by like the 9th of March.

Ugh, I now know one of the reasons the hotel prices seemed higher that weekend vs Mar 2nd - Zorak, you will be staying at the Official Headquarters Hotel for the American Pharmacists Association's Annual meeting.

Ah, that explains the cash price @:-) but it wasn't a total ripoff using points plus maybe I'll be able to score some free samples

Mrs767 suggested 13 Coins (recently relocated from the longtime Boren Avenue location to Pioneer Square) for breakfast/brunch on Sunday ...

I will query our friends at Scratch Distillery in Edmonds this Sunday (17 Feb) as to whether they can accommodate a group of 10-15 on Saturday afternoon

Any feedback on flying in and out of PAE? Alaska has LAX-PAE flights (ok, Horizon Air E175s) as well as LAX-SEA options. HGI is likely where we'd stay but getting a rental car will be a "Paine" at this point.

Not a whole lot, because PAE doesn't have its first flight until a couple of weeks before this DO. The location will be convenient for the factory tour, but not so much if you're planning on joining for meals in Seattle.

Kim and Bryan said this will be fine ... they would like a head count a couple days in advance, so please post your interest in the wiki

I suggest lunch at Anthony’s Beach Cafe by the Edmonds marina (~25 min drive from the visitor center; ~5 min walk from Scratch) after the Boeing tour

Decided to give the LAX-PAE route a try. Will drive down into SEA and Seattle area for other activities.

Have our tix for the Boeing tour.

BenA and I are going to visit the Flying Heritage museum in the afternoon, which means lunch closer to PAE, probably at Diamond Knot, and then meet back with everyone for dinner.

Times like this I really wish I were more of a flake, you are really making me want to call in "sick"!
