No, but I have a great dim sum place in mind.

It isn't near the water, but I've got a group of 14 people staying at one of these places in May.  Great golf and restaurants.  It's a little over an hour from Seattle

I am not a fan of Suncadia at all.  We can do better.  If we decide to do it, I’ll research.

I'm decided. Sounds like you & DA RAIDERS are, too. 

I'm guessing we can shame at least five or six more into playing.

My only "can't-do" is May 4-11

Best time to visit here is July/August.  

Regarding Suncadia, I should say that if you golf it’s probably great.  There’s just nothing else to do there, unless you want to drive a bit to some good hiking.  For out-of-towners to visit an area that’s nearly nothing but water and then stay nowhere near the water seems like a missed opportunity.

Lol.   If you’re looking at summer, try to get a place with a dock.   I can bring a boat if people would like to go booze cruising, fishing or wakeboarding.

or just find a place in gig harbor.

I was thinking Gig Harbor would be great, actually.  Location is fantastic for getting to a lot.  Bainbridge would be even better, but so much $$$.

Holy hell, that looks perfect.  Is the shtick the "castle" part?  By the way, 20 minutes from my house and 10 minutes from my favorite dive bar.

Would that be Chad's Seafood? Because that place is JUMPING off of the map at me. Plus EMT Medical is close, which may come in handy.

Or maybe it was Naughty Trivia.  I just remember we were there minding our own business one night when the emcee of it tried to get us to stick around.  I think you can win dildos and stuff.

[Uruk-Hai 7,646]

Ok, so when? Someone said July or August would be best. Agreed?

And dildos

not necessarily in that order

Not that it will make any difference, but one could get quite the party pad in Vegas for $800/nt.

Yeah we used to rent McMansions for our fantasy draft.  There are some pretty insane places for rent there.

The bar is super dead tonight. Should I get some Taco Bell and head home for SNL, or make an even worse decision involving an ATM and a strip club?

2 double crunch wrap supremes, fully adorned nachos and a chili cheese burrito.  

pick up a large hot fudge and caramel sundae at Dairy Queen and eat that on the way home before you indulge in the Taco Bell.

I know nothing about Seattle. Are there the kind of rentals like they have in the Outer Banks - 10 bedroom houses with a bunch of kitchens/decks, etc...?

There were...before k4 bought them all.

@kevzillaWay late to the game but was "Taco Bell and strip club" on the table?

Also, "Dive Bars and Dildos" is the name of my Tom Waits documentary

As much as I'd like to go somewhere else, if we're talking July/August the PNW is the best place to be.   Weather is perfect and so much to do.   This from a San Diego native.  I will get you drunk on a boat.

We do a squat takeover of one of these new billionaires' towers under construction. I think it turns into a jg Ballard high-rise situation pdq. That should appeal to all comers.

I like strippers.

I just don't want to give them my money.  

[Mr.Pack 2,617]

And the hits keep coming.......... A good friend of mine died from complications from diabetes. Was on dialysis for 4 years, finally was in the top 10 for a kidney in Texas, and died before he could get one at age 48. No thropras needed. It was a surprise but not shocking as he really never took care of himself until it was too late.

Also, about to become homeless. We sold our house about a month ago, and have until April 5th to find something. As fast as condos come on the market they are scooped up before we can even see them. Three times this past week our realtor contacted me about condos that just got on the market. Set up an appt to see it and within hours get a call saying they have accepted offers. Apartments are few as well. Have an appt to see a town-home in a 55+ community on Weds. We'll see.... If nothing else we'll be living in a hotel for a few weeks. In the middle of all this, my wife had to have surgery last week to try and repair her incision from her hip replacement from this past July. She has two drains running out of her and packing has been on me. My daughter came over this weekend to help so that helped,  but I'll need to get more help as we have less than a month to be out of here.

I've never been this stressed in my life. Probably slept 3 hours the past two nights. 

Anyway, just needed to vent a little.

Heading to Sedona on Wednesday just in time to miss the good weather here.  It was in the mid-80s here today.  “Winter” is over here and now we’re in Air Conditioning season.

I'll be damned if I take a vacation from my golf course community to another golf course community. I need to get away.
