This is the itinerary I used
for my July 2011 trip to Seattle. Abbreviations as per the original itinerary
for historical reasons. See the links
for the trip reports posted to see how the itinerary compared to the actual
day. I do not recommend trying to use
the timings listed as these were 2011 timings.
NOW in brackets is present day notes.
