NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Howdy yall, new to the area living in seattle, Wa area not sure if this is the only local thread. I saw the February meet for today to late but I'm down if there are any other events or offroading coming up?

 

Welcome, this seems to be the main thread for the area but also check in the meets and threads for trips.

 

Thanks! I found this thread is this the main meet thread? https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/april-2020-seattle-area-meet.651849/

 

How's it going Vance. I'm out here now too. In the Bremerton area though. Missed the recent meet too. I'll try to make it to the next one

 

im also in bremerton just not sure what to call it I sent you a PM man

 

Looks like mashed potatoes, soon to be cascade concrete.

 

Just moved to Seattle area. Already got out and started exploring. Originally from Whidbey but grew up in Texas.

 

Where is that spot?

 

Deception Pass State Park

 

Yeah, @TexMeg89 sets up a parking lot type meet every month (usually at a brewery). So, new thread each month, that she links in here, and then individual trail run type meets are also coordinated or linked in her monthly thread. I'd say follow this thread first, and you'll see links for the rest of it pop up.

Sub'd all three going to keep an eye out for trail meets

 

Tahuya is pretty local to you (and me...I'm in Port orchard). There's also the Olympics which have tons of fs roads. Tahuya is decently short and could be done after work....especially more summer time

 

Live in Tacoma now but grew up in B-Town. Happy to help/assist with whatever.

 

@Apollo14 - Welcome to the area! I moved up here from Austin a while ago. Love it up here. Wish there was a Chuy's and some good BBQ, but other than that, all good.

 

Theres a few good places.

Peco's pit.
Jacks BBQ
Pig Iron BBQ
BBQ Petes in Kent.

Those are the closest you'll find to Midwest BBQ

 

Very nice! Now I have some places I must try out!

 

Jack's bbq has a really good brisket chili but none of them can touch what Austin has.

 

Peco's is one of the originals. Has some amazing pulled pork and brisket. Their sauces are great too. And be cautioned, the hot is pretty hot. And I love Hot BBQ sauce.

Jacks has the brisket.
Pig Iron is just good all around. I recommend the stuffed jalapenos. Those things have me wanting to come up there just for them... and I make a mean stuff pepper myself.

BBQ Pete's is good general BBQ fare. They are the BBQ place at the Puyallup fair every year. The spicy chop was my favorite, get it on their salad and you won't be sad.

 

I’ve been looking everywhere for an HEB, Las Palapas, Fuzzy’s Tacos, or a Whatabuger...

...No luck so far.

 

My wife & I go crazy trying to grocery shop. Get ready to go between 3-4 stores to get what you need. HEB would kill it up here! Definitely hard to find those southern brands that HEB carries all the time. ....and don't get me started on What-A-Burger! (I need a moment of silence)
