I have been there. Also that is where Microsoft's HQ is located, so it makes sense that is it Washington State.

Redmond vetting - help needed!
Hi, I am cHRISTIAN and I didnt post a lot here around (I am more the quiet reader in the back ;-)) but now its about time because I will go on a b-trip to wonderful Redmond, Washington for a week attending a Microsoft conference from 20th April onwards.
Here in Germany I drive a black C3 vert and some time ago this little beauty was accompanied by another young lady in black, my beloved black C5Z06 convertible. Now she had to move along and left her place for my little sweet (newborn... no but still only 10 months) daughter Carolin.
Now here comes the question for you, I will have 1 or 2 days where I have some free time until the conference starts, so who can tell me where to find a nice shop or store nearby to get my sweetheart vette styled (like clothing etc.)? I will have the opportunity of 2x20KG to get back home with me which I obviously will not completely have to use for things I need there in the US for myself
Or is there any place or event I am not allowed to miss out around there (corvette or non-corvette wise, its my first visit to Washington
state ofc) maybe meet you in person and say thx!?
I urgently need your assistance please please!
See you (there)!

No worries my friend, I just hope someone who actually knows the area posts
...Actually I'm wrong because the poster states the he is attending something to do with Microsoft and says Washington State. So I should stfu and stay out of what I don't know.

Thx for the replies, to answer the question about C5 Z06 convertible, it was done by a shop in Florida near St. Petersburg. So it is not just a badged ripp-off but I am used to get such questions and I dont mind ;-)
OK so I will go ahead and post this to the northwest Forum. It is this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redmond,_Washington and yes its where Microsoft has its HQ. So I think it should be moved to the Northwest Forum please?!
Thx!
