    Look for moving company yards. Might be room to slip in there. The other option is to park in enumclaw and cross over early monday.

    Sitting at the place with all the silver dollars. Wow. What an incredible sight. The restaurant is nasty. Over priced and low quality.

    The drive has been pretty cool so far. Kinda easier than I thought it would be. Tomorrow I'll go through ID and into WA.

    Ernie's Fuel Stop in Kent charges $25 a night for parking. They have about half a dozen parking spots. You might call ahead and see if you can get a reservation. That would be the closest you can get to your Monday morning delivery. To get to Everett by car is one to three hours, depending on traffic. I wouldn't even think about trying to park in Everett and trying to battle Monday morning rush hour.

    CHR has been good to me too...just finished a load for them, $3000 on 750 miles. 2 pick 2 drop, but I've built a realationship with one guy over there. I'm gonna run the heck out of this summer and market.

    Well I'm at Everett Mall parked at the southern end along the fence. Hope nobody gives a crap about it. Cousin is coming to pick me up. If my truck is still here tomorrow night, I'll go to Kent and miss Monday morning rush hour.
     
    Lepton1 Thanks this.

    Go EARLY and take I-405.

    I hope you enjoyed the transition from dry plains to dry pines to getting over Snoqualmie to thick Douglas Fir and Cedars. The Cascades create a "rain shadow" that makes the east side dry and all the wet on the west side gross some uncommonly large trees. It's not uncommon to see a logging truck with ONE log being the whole maximum load.
