Aww, I just found out about this it looks fun! I wish I could go, I live a few hours away but my cars out of commission.
yes avoid bringing a car down if you can, seattle is a nice place to walk around and the downtown transportation system is amazing[if you did not want to walk around in seattle ofcourse]
if you DO have to drive, make sure you carpool ONLY - non-HOV lanes into seattle are pretty much always slammed, i tend to avoid I-5 north and south as well as I-90 anytime that it isn't super late
HOV / seattle public transit is your best bet, even driving to a nearby metro transit center (with free parking 100% of the time!) in eastgate / north seattle and then busing from there is a great way to shave time and hassle for the commute

I too will be going there, my first time, pretty scrubish but going to do my best being in the old people group haha.
I'll be there for my first VGC tourny. I like my team, just worried about the RNG at this point. Should be interesting. I'll be in the masters like pretty much everyone here.
Carpooling to Seattle from Phoenix, contact me if interested in splitting some costs.
I'm going. Masters. Looks like there's gonna be some stiff competition this year. Last year I swept my way to the top 16 with non perfect pokes. Golem, latios, mewto, rayquaza. Should be interesting this year though.
I was your first opponent in the top 50. Used Breloom, Dialga, Parasect, Palkia. You and your Focus Sash Golem...
LOL! Really? Kind of stupid on my part to use golem with focus sash. He has sturdy >.<
Are you going to compete this year?
Yeah I'll be there, and like Cybertron said, Sturdy acting as a Focus Sash is a new thing in gen 5.
I remember Surfing Golem and watching the health drop, then thinking "... oh, please don't be Focus Sash", and it was. You then exploded and put yourself up 3-1, it was gg from there!
Lol yeah, it was pretty sweet running a golem. Most people I faced seemed really caught off guard by him. People would see my golem and latios, kind of chuckle to themself, and within 20 seconds, I'd see they're face turn to a frown lol. Oh ok, sturdy wouldve been practically useless then. Well best of luck to you this year, I'm pretty excited to see what kinds of strategies people will be using.
Good luck to everybody playing this week!
Hey guys... it's Nick McCord. I saw this thread and wanted to give you a lowdown on Seattle. I've lived there for a while and the downtown commission on whatever just raised parking fees. There are however the decks on Elliot. There are several parking decks on Elliot just before the art institute heading South that only run like 12 bucks a day if you get there early enough... which, of course, you will. Also, you can park on Capitol Hill (past 21st at about 21st and Madison) for free and bus down on the number 10 line, which'll head straight down Madison and into the downtown core. There's a church I used to park at all the time when I didn't wanna pay the fees. Hope this helps guys! Can't wait to see you there!
