    Weekend of March 3 & 4, I will be limited to beach fishing from Carkeek Park north to Everett. What are the odds of getting more action than the much needed double-haul practice?

    So the inventory was vast and after two days of guys literally walking away with boxes of materials, there was still way too much stuff to lot out, so the family has decided to do the same next weekend. Saturday and Sunday 9:00 AM-3:00 PM See bottom thread link for address. Trust me, there...

    I broke a guide on my XP 697-4 while fishing tonight. I don't build rods, but I was hoping to find a member in North Seattle that could repair this for me. I'd prefer not to have it out of action for very long, which is why I'd rather go this route then ship it to Sage. This rod has been...

    A friend of mine just purchased his first firearm and is looking for a range near Seattle. I'm not sure of the make or caliber, but I think it's a .30-06. I don't own any guns myself, so forgive the newbie question. My guess is some ranges don't allow larger caliber weapons and it would be nice...

Not a huge job, but one I don't wish to do myself due to the asphalt part. I've called a number of places without much luck. The few that...

    Congratulations to the Seattle Sounders on winning the MLS Cup. I was trying to watch on a Fox feed on the internet from Riyadh and the damn thing froze right before the last penalty kick. When the feed started again the Sounders were running around on the field so I figured something good...
