No scrabble tournaments in Seattle?

I'm planning a week-long trip to Seattle next year, and wanted to take in a Scrabble tournament or two. Although there's a scrabble club there, they only hold 1-day tournaments, nothing NASPA sanctioned.

Ah, well.

Anyway, it should be fun.

I was checking Mt. Baker lodgings on the internet, and came across Snowater Lodge. Isn't that a nice name?

I'm really looking forward to seeing these gardens:

The Butchart Gardens remains a family business and has grown to become a premier West Coast display garden, while maintaining the gracious traditions of the past. Today the Gardens has established an international reputation for its year round display of flowering plants. Throughout the Gardens historical perspectives are set up at viewpoints, where mounted photographic images show the view from that location as it was when The Gardens were being developed.

 IN fact, I might make this a new travel goal... visit a show garden in every state in the Union.

Mt. Baker lodgings are typically time shares which are pretty nice. The only drawback is that there's no internet there - were are talking remote.  But, I can deal with the peace and quiet of no internet if I have to!
