Wow, such great suggestions from everyone already. Bob, I'll PM you later this week. Tabs, we are actually spending a day in Victoria before we get to Seattle. I'll drop your name at the Empress and let you know if they treat me like a man of wealth and taste. I think we will tuck the Museum of Flight comfortably into our last morning before we fly home. SeaTac seems so central, but something tells me that's not really the part of town we want to use as our base. But I'll look harder. The Motel 6 does look more inviting on second look than I first thought. It's not much more expensive than Dirty Dick's Notel Motel, which the boys and I thought looked interesting, but my wife nixed. Women these days.

So am I correct that over a four day visit we can either visit the Olympic Park side or go toward Mt. Rainier, but not both? It sounds like the best for us would be to go into Olympic Park and explore.

We are hoping to stay somewhere outside of Seattle that makes day trips farther out easier. Any suggestions on where to stay?
