Hi In2art-
I have also been thinking about carpooling. Springcolor also lives near me, and RickCorey is kinda close, but his car could be filled with bulky things. I live just off route 9 in Lake Stevens, so if you got here we could take my station wagon, lots of room for plants in there! Lake Stevens is at about the halfway point for you, if nobody else from the Bellevue area is coming.
