Anyone Going to the NWEAA Fly-in (Arlington, WA)?

I'm headed up there on Sat to the NWEAA Fly-In at Arlington, WA (KAWO).
Anyone else going? It's my first trip there and I'm looking forward
to seeing the Sportsman 2+2 that will be there on display. Coming from
the south, I will also transit the Bravo airspace fir the first time
with my instructor.

I'm living on the wrong sound right now, but I used to fly out of BFI.

For me, getting into the Class B was pretty rare. Mostly it happened
on IFR flight plans. Don't be surprised if you have to go around. I
prefered going up the West side of the Class B, transiting the Tacoma
Narrows (TIW) class D. Where are you flying from?

Enjoy Arlington. When I went, I drove up from Seattle but it was fun
sitting in the RV-7 making airplane noises.

The best way to transit Seattle area from the south is direct OLM,
direct PAE, and stay under the class B. Even if you talk to Seattle
approach you will end up with more or less the same routing. I never
even received a routing over SEA for my IFR trips.

In reading the NOTAMs and talking with my instructor, I tihnk my route
is going to be (more or less), SLE-UBG-HIO-SPB-KSL-TDO-1S0-Lake Tapps
(E. VFR Transition Rte)-S43-Green Valley-AWO. It's going to be busy
enough Sat morning that I'll be hoppin'

Sadly, I'm not going to be able to be there on Friday evening. I'm
getting ready for my trip to AWO and going to a local Oregon Pilots
Assoc meeting.

You might as well study the western route too though. There may be fog or
low clouds Saturday (or any day, for that matter ), and it's hard to tell
in advance where they will be. Often they are over the water, and staying
east along the foothills is a good tactic, but sometimes it's not so much
the clouds as the visibility, which can be pretty bad up against the
foothills, while still reasonably decent over the Sound.

In other words, either plan could be superior, and you won't know until just
before takeoff which one is.

Yea, if it is not good weather (really good, so my dad says) then we are
not going. While I understand that and appreciate that, it's also kind
of frustrating because he wants to make his go/no-go decision Friday
afternoon when Sat AM may have a totally different perspective.

What's the reason for making the decision so early? Are there alternative
plans that need that much advance notice?

In this sort of weather (humid, at least for the Northwest), it's nearly
impossible to predict with certainty what the fog/cloud situation will be 12
hours in advance.

Inasmuch as even a "go" decision on Friday may have to change to a "no-go"
Saturday morning, why not also allow for the possibility of changing a
"no-go" decision to a "go" decision, if the weather is better than forecast?

Just curious...
