Well, I wanted to attend this year's Gathering but our trip to Aruba with family won out. So it didn't matter which location I voted for because I've never been to any of them. I chose Arizona though.

I just voted for CA.
Last chance to vote is today.
Vote early and vote often.
Crap, only one vote per member.

Vette(s): 1976 Silver/Firethorn. L48, 4spd. Original 2 bolt, vortec heads, 9.4:1 CR, Speed Pro Cam: 224/224@0.050, 112 LSA, Eagle Steel Crank.
Well Seattle/Tacoma works for me - only 2.5 hours by Vette!  Smile

I think Tacoma would be preferable over Seattle.  Lots of museums, including LeMay and museum of Glass (Chihuley).  My wife and I had a weekend up there a year and a half ago to see both of those.  LeMay had a 'Vette exhibit going on at the time - fantastic.  Tacoma also has better access to Mt. Rainier - lots of good drives in that area.  

If a small town is desired, I'd suggest Packwood, WA, on US 12 between Chehalis and Yakima.  They have a number of large events every year, including a big rod run - able to handle an influx of "car types".   Also it's a great gateway to Mt. Rainier National Park and a pretty easy drive to the Yakima Valley if folks were interested in wine tasting.

Dave, I think you and Vman (and maybe Cilrah Mark)should be the point men for this...... could always go to Forks to see some Vampires.....
I agree the Tacoma area would be awesome and Gig Harbor of course!

Hey Ebo, very nice of you to throw them under the bus...er, I mean to honor them by suggesting they set the whole shebang up. Yeah, that's what I meant.

Seriously, if you do get tagged, it is worth the little bit of angst that comes with it. Everyone on here makes it easy and worth the effort...except for Rodney.

Yeah, I know, Shut up Dave.
