WACKOS, Seattle, St. Patrick's day, who's around?

**The Barry** · 7th March 09, 10:20 AM

I was planning on meeting along the parade route. I don't think that we will be able to "reserve" any space in a pub for that day, but I'll be checking on this today.

I do think that we should, as a mob, head over to the Seattle Center afterward. That is where a large amount of vendors, etc. will be collected. After that, We'll need to sort out a watering hole to populate, but they are all going to be crowded in the downtown corridor.

Any ideas on where to go after? St. Andrew's?

I look forward to meeting you all next Saturday,where are we starting off from and what time. I'm new to the area so any help/directions would be great. What about parking? should I park or commute by Sounder. Oh I found a stashed Malt "Nippie Sweetie'' should I bring it ???? LOL.

OK Barry step up and name the time and location for meeting before the parade. Since you are the expereinced St Paddy parade goer, advise how much more crowed it will be so us novices can allow for adequate time to park and find you.

How about ..the blarney stone., Fado , Owl 'n Thistle, T S McHugh's

I'll be wearing my Ireland National and some boots at the Westlake park. I'll be hanging around near the judge's viewing contraption. The parade starts at 12:30, and I'll try to be at my staging area a bit early.

From there I plan on hopping on the monorail to the Seattle Center to see the vendors that are set up there, and perhaps even some of the pomp that goes on there during the festival.

After that, we can hop the monorail back to Westlake, hit TS McHugh's, Fado's, anywhere. It's all going to be crowded, but I'm down for a pub crawl!

Enjoy lads! Sorry I can't be with you for this one...

**The Barry** · 13th March 09, 08:35 PM

I'll be there!

It would be cool if I weren't the only kilted guy out there, so hopefully I'll see you guys out there!

**ktm5258** · 13th March 09, 09:09 PM

I will be there!

Just one last "bump" before I grab some grub, get ready, and head out the door.

St. Patrick's day parade, Seattle WA:

I'll be at Westlake Park, 12:00-12:30, Parade starts at 12:30. I'll be in an Ireland National, boots, and leather jacket.

After we gather, what we do is anybody's guess!
