So how did it go? Looking forward to the May meetup, hopefully in the first week or so of the month.
Western WA is definitely not a "truck town", the metrosexual hippies with their Priuses have trashed the place pretty good. Still, as long as there is a consistent showing from month to month of even two, I believe the meet ups will gain traction.
It's unfortunate that some don't want to meet at a restaurant, after all, restaurants have big parking lots (and food). If someone did have space and willingness to have a bunch of strangers over at their place, that's great too. It's also monumentally harder to arrange. More options will present themselves as people get coming on a regular basis.
For now, thanks Yahiko, for doing what can be done.

This should link to the Summit Pancake House at Snoqualmie. Good spot. Timing allowing, I'm in. I don't have a hard date yet for my departure for AK other than "mid-May". If we could establish a hard date for the meetup, I can probably schedule my flight out to be after the meet though.
Spitballing an idea... the drive is pretty nice through there, we could conceivably meet at the pancake house then cruise fun-run style to any number of scenic locations within an hour or two drive. My kids want to go camping while I'm home, so a landing spot with a fire pit and campground would hit multiple birds in one shot for me. Mm, planked salmon over an open fire pit is the bomb!

Haha! Talk about a tough sell! I can imagine the "you must be stupid" look already. Good reminder on Mothers Day though. Gifting for these things is so much more expensive if she has to tell me what I got her.
So the 6th is good for me, 20th not so much.
