always... I have a blast everytime I'm there. Lets see, one time I went to Bumbershoot and saw Neko Case, who is one of my favorite artists. around 2000 took the ferry to port angeles, then on to victoria, then boarded another ferry to Vancouver. That was a lot of fun. Mountlake terrace disc golf course is badass, so is the one in White center. I try to play both of those everytime I'm there.

Last time I was there in 09 I didn't do much... my friends were moving from shoreline to greenwood greenlake area so I got conned into helping them move for 3 days of my vacation.

I've been applying for jobs up there over the last few months. Haven't heard too much back accept a bunch of recruiters trying to get me to apply with microsoft. Seattle is my number one destination so I'll keep applying until it happens. I've got to get out of the backwards south. lol

Thousands of pot fans rally at Seattle festival

SEATTLE (AP) -- Tens of thousands of people descended on a waterfront park in Seattle Friday for the opening of what's billed as the nation's largest marijuana rally - an event that has a pressing political edge this year as Washington state's voters consider whether to legalize the fun use of pot for adults.

Colorado, Oregon and Washington already have medical marijuana laws. And all three also have legalization measures on the November ballot.

Washington's would allow sales of up to an ounce of dried marijuana at state-licensed stores and could bring the state nearly $2 billion in tax revenue over the next five years - if the federal government doesn't try to block the law from taking effect. Pot remains illegal under federal law.

Washington's measure, Initiative 502, also would prevent nearly 10,000 marijuana possession arrests every year in the state, proponents say.

"It looks like we're finally reaching a critical mass to end this critical mess," Hempfest director Vivian McPeak said as the festival began. "If I-502 passes, it'll be a historic moment."

Organizers expected at least 150,000 people at the three-day event. Thousands milled along the 1.5-mile long park under a blazing sun Friday afternoon, stopping at booths advertising colorful glass pipes, hemp clothing and medical marijuana dispensaries. Young women shouted at passersby to encourage them to obtain medical marijuana authorizations - "Are you legal yet?" - while other festival goers rested on driftwood logs, lighting joints and pipes.

Vendors hawked $2 bottles of water, but not just for hydration: "Ice water here! Get some ice water for your bong!"

Considering how their showers were, I doubt that the swimming pool was awfully popular.
