Re: CLUB DIVE! Feb 23, 2013
This is a hike for this OR girl but is there a place (hotel) nearby that isn't really speedy or in use (ahem) by the hour?
Not sure if I want to bounce to 130- but would love to poke around and look for critters.... How far is this from Portland as I live 1 hour south of there....... Thanks!

Re: CLUB DIVE! Feb 23, 2013
I have had really good luck with the Extended Stay America in Mukilteo. The rooms are recently remodeled and I have never paid over $85 a night using Expedia. It is literally a ten minute drive from the dive site. Although the Silver Cloud is right at the dive site they tend to be $140 a night or more last time I checked.

Re: CLUB DIVE! Feb 23, 2013
sekhmet, if you're cat-tolerant, you can crash at our place. We're a half hour from the site, but the price is right.
I'm not even sure where I'm going to BE in February, let alone what my work schedule is, but if I'm free, I'll come to the dives. I've had great fun at all the ones I have made it to!

What a great offer, you make me proud to be part of NWDC!
But I gotta ask, how many cats do you have?
Are you one of those cat ladies?

Thank you Lynne, that is VERY nice of you. I am cat tolerant (hopefully since I have a cat myself). It's about a 4.5 hr drive for me to this dive but hey I'm motivated. If anyone else in Portlandia wants to hop on board on the way up that could be fun. I will keep you posted!

Re: CLUB DIVE! Feb 23, 2013
Bassman - you and me baby! Ok, I'm not really going to join you for a 120+ foot dive....
That said, I'm sure I can make it, as I live 15 minutes away, and the Muk is my crabbing playground.
I also have a couch for anyone cat, dog, and very jumpy puppy tolerant.

Re: CLUB DIVE! Feb 23, 2013
Hey folks. I joined a while ago but haven't posted. My wife and I live primarily in Illinois, but have a place in Seattle where we plan to be full time once our youngest is out of college - two more years. Anyway, we're starting to spend a lot more time out here, and plan to be back quite a bit in February and March. Did a solo at Mukilteo a few days ago and really enjoyed it. So, I'd like to join in on the dive. Anything I need to know or bring, other than be there for the scheduled splash time?

Welcome to the party and glad you can make it! Jeremy might have some ideas for what people could bring to help out. See you in February!

Re: CLUB DIVE! Feb 23, 2013
As it turns out, I will be working that entire weekend. The crash pad offer is still open, but you will not only have to tolerate the cats (2) but my husband, too . . .
I've learned to put in the cat-tolerant part. It's amazing how many people are deathly allergic to the little guys.
