Portland and Seattle

[Savonarola]

I'll be in Portland OR November 8 to November 13 and Seattle WA from November 13 to November 18.  Is there any must sees in either city?  (Or hidden gems in Seattle, I've been to most of the well known sites there.)  Is there anyone living in either location who would be interested in an IRL meeting?

Seattle: full of dirty hipsters pointedly sighing as you demand they actually serve you the organic coffee you ordered half an hour ago. Not keen to go back. Portland is probably worse.

I know Capt Mihali is In Seattle;  he gave me his phone number but never returned my call, so who knows.  Probably way too busy with his grow operations by now.

11B is on the other side of I-5, IIRC.

Isn't there another Languishite in the greater Seattle area?

My two favorite memories of Seattle are the hydroplane races and some Indian festival thing, neither of which you can do in November.  So if I were you I would just each a buttload of Salmon and chuckle at the Japanese tourists.

Oversized is probably a better word.

Not there now (and won't be during said timeframe), but it is the motherland. 

For the Portland area, find a Burgerville (local chain)...always very good.  Portland is also known for other good/odd food places (e.g  http://wafflewindow.com/ ).

Seattle area I am more familiar with.  Will you be based in any particular part of the Seattle area, or in the city itself?

Well Seattle wise we don't have anyone currently visiting Languish anymore, Mihali was the last.
Likewise Fahdiz is closest to Portland but he isn't active either.

I miss Camper.

I keep trying to get my ass up there, but nobody will hire me. 
I would take Berkut's advice and show up anyway, but doesn't the Pacific Northwest have enough homeless runaways as it is?  It would be pretty depressing to be the only Gen Xer living under the overpass.

Man there are whole fucking cities under I5 south of downtown Seattle it is crazy.

Dude, I have applied to Amazon physical security/SOC positions so many times the last 4 years--not just Seattle, but back here--I don't think they've ever had them filled.  I think they're really just gag jobs, and Amazon needs the clicks.
