Fall business trip...

[CWU Wildcat Nation]

Re: Fall business trip...

I appreciate everyone's advice! Brandon, I won't be there to see a CWU game, nor any other game. It will be after the season, so I will try to grab some PAC-12 games, or a Blazers game.

How long of a drive would it be if I was in Eugene, and drove back to Seattle?

Also, what are the recommendations for getting to Seattle from Vancouver? I have read on the internet that the train is a beautiful route, but longer as opposed to being in a car. I never went through Canadian customs, so any advice would be great!

I read that the underground Seattle tour is pretty cool. How far is the Snoqaumie falls?

In Portland, how far is Cannon beach? We will spend one night in Portland, and then head to Eugene for a ducks game. You guys have any other advice for the city of Portland? I saw there are some nice wineries near by, and I would like to get to Monmouth on that drive to visit WOU.

Thanks guys! Always rooting for the GNAC, and hopefully we can find a way to grab a couple more schools for ya all!

Go to a Huskies game. Amazing stadium and greatest setting in college football, or so they claim. I highly recommend the Amtrak Cascades train. Great ride! The falls are not too far east on I-90. The Snoqualmie Casino is also one of the nicest around. It is about 1.5 hours between Portland and CB. Most of the wineries are out past Newberg and McMinnville, to the SW of Portland, though the very best wineries are way out east in the Columbia Valley/Walla Walla area of Washington.

Do you mean Yakima Valley or Columbia Basin? I'm guessing Yakima Valley as they have some really good ones and the Columbia Basin is more mixed in agriculture still. I'll agree on Walla Walla area for sure.

Snoqualmie Falls is about 25 miles east of Seattle. Most years, there is plenty of water in the river at that time of year. It's worth the trip from Seattle.

Yeah man, but isn't the area around Snoqualmie Falls kind of a bad hood?

Yes. It's legit. Holds 72,000, so is not SEC or Big 12 big, but it has an incredible view and it's LOUD.
