Left home before 9 this morning. The lineup at Peace Arch went north of the duty free, but there were 2 cars ahead of me in the NEXUS lane!
Arrived at the Bellevue Mall, east of Seattle, by noon. Bought some clothes at Macy's and goodies at Harry & David. Had a great lunch at Z'Tejas.
Drove to Redmond and found a cache placed in January 2004 for a challenge. As I was making notes in the car a security guard popped up out of nowhere and asked what I was hiding. I tried to explain things to him and he wasn't interested. He wrote my license on his hand (well organized idiot that he was) and said he was calling the police. I showed him my maps and offered to show him what was under the lamp skirting but he just stomped off. He was on the phone as I drove off. Wasn't going to waste the afternoon waiting for the police who might never have come.
Took a long time to get back to Everett and check in at the Best Western (on Aerogold miles). I've stayed here before. The room is nice but someone had taken a shower after it was cleaned. They redid the bathroom while I was out for dinner at Famous Dave's in Everett Mall. Looked for a cache nearby but no luck.
The traffic here is absolutely nuts. So glad we stopped freeways from cutting through Vancouver.
