Thanks, Jim!

I lived in Arlington 20 years and am up there all the time to see family. The Arlington Motor Inn (1st on the list) is definitely the closest. You will pass it when you get off I-5 on the way to the restaurant. It's about 4 miles away. Not the fanciest place, but convenient and I think all of the ones on the list are decent - no roach motels. It also has a couple restaurants right next to it. This is the one the guy at the restaurant was talking about.

The other three are all down by Smokey Point, the next exit 2 miles south of the Arlington exit. Of the 4 on the list, the Hawthorn Inn is probably the "nicest" and most expensive, but it will still be a far cry from the Wild Iris Inn that I recommended to you guys last year.

If you are just looking for the closest place to crash for the night (hopefully not literally), I'd go with the Motor Inn. I was really hoping that there would have been some little historic hotel right there in the old part of town where the Rome is.

Here's the driving directions to get to the restaurant:

No matter where you are coming from, the easiest and quickest way to get there will be to get on Interstate 5, North or South (depending). The exit you will take off I-5 is Exit 208 (should also say Arlington, Hwy 530).

Once you exit, you will be taking WA-530 East towards Arlington.
Follow the highway 4 miles until you coming into town at the top of a long gradual hill. Go through the stoplight and stay straight on the roundabout.

Just after the roundabout you will be taking a right onto N. Olympic.

Once you are on Olympic, you will go through one 4-way stop, and then you will see the Rome Restaurant on the left side of the street.

There is a parking lot to the side of the restaurant, and also parallel parking on both sides of the street. If for some reason there is no parking to be found anywhere near there, there is a very large gravel parking lot located a few blocks down on the right (where we all parked for the lunch stop at Fall Colors). Hopefully we will all be able to park close to the Rome though.

Once you walk in the restaurant, if someone doesn't already direct you, our room will be on the immediate left adjacent to the lounge.

At this point we are most likely going to stay at the Hawthorne.
www.hotels.com shows a rate of $89, which isn't too bad, but we have not reserved.
If anybody else plans to stay the night, perhaps at the Hawthorne, let me know and perhaps they'll give us a deal, I don't think they will, but I will ask.

I plan on coming with a guest. add 2 more

p.s. Thinking about picking up a '97 Cobra this week

This really is going to be a great event so don't be afraid to attend! We've put a ton of effort into this one to make it a memorable night. We have several event sponsors that have provided us with some awards we think everyone will enjoy. And rest assured, everyone that attends will get at least something, even if they don't necessarily win an award.

As usual, any questions on anything at all, let me know.

Oh heck.
let me be the first to bail.
Prior commitments have arisen and made it impossible to attend.
Wishing you all the best, and hoping to meet some/all of you if you go "camping" this summer on the dry side.

The way you said that infers that there will be others to bail as well! Sure hope not!

We'll miss you, but looking forward to meeting up in the future!

We have a Seafood fest this summer and would love to have you attend that. Don't wait for us to camp over there.

Oh yeah! And Earl's got a very, very cool place to hang out
