Default Northridge Trip

I have decided to take a long overdue trip to have my Jeep re-geared at Northridge4X4 in WA State. At $999 I can't pass up that deal and to have JK experts doing the install only sweetens the deal.

I live in Vancouver Canada so the trip distance on only 4 hours or so. I have never been down there. So what's in the area? Is there any places to stay, eat, see? While I wait for the work to be finished.

You can see the inside of David's fancy new shop and showroom!

Take a ferry over to Seattle for the day or stay the night. Plenty of brew pubs and scenery. I know they suck right now, but you could catch an M's game.

Looking forward to hearing more about your trip when you get back. But I have no advice for you.
GOOD LUCK!

I know this is my plan down the road is to get the gears installed by northridge in Washington state! Sweet deal all around great shop, Canadian Dollar is worth more than the US greenback...it will be about an 9-10hr trip for me from Revy.... but could make a nice holiday out of it!

One suggestion....see if Washington state still has the tax exemption for BC residents! I know they did last summer when I got a set of tires from Discount tires in Spokane area save myself an extra 10%.

I know when I was down for Seahawks game in Seattle my buddy and I ate at the Crab Pot down on Pier 57 and had the "Seafeast" oh my that Seafest was Freakin amazing & huge portions!!!!

Dave. Are there places to stay near the shop? Things to do within walking distance? I was looking at the map and it looks like a residential area.
