For those of you who might be interested:
The National Corvette Museum (NCM) Museum in Motion (MiM) will be here in the Seattle Area July 26 @ 3:00 pm – July 30 @ 11:00 am for “Northwest Passage”, an adventure filled with activities and sights, starting with a 3 days / 4 night stay at a the 5-star Cedarbrook Lodge resort in SeaTac.

You can be a part of this experience (I’m signed up!) with your Corvette for a beautiful drive up to Mount Rainier (Lunch at Paradise Inn), a visit to both of the ever popular Lemay (automotive) Museums, a full day in Seattle (bus trip) including the Air & Space Museum; Seattle Center (home of the Space Needle) as well as the popular Pike Place Market. By joining MiM “Northwest Passage” you see some of those local spectacular sights you’ve always wanted to see, but never quite got around to.

I contacted the NCM to see if there was any provision for local people to attend without staying at the Cedarbrook Lodge, which is a few minutes from the airport. The answer was NO. Do it all or do none of it.
Not wishing to spend $ 2000 on 4 days of doing things with other Corvette owners I will not be attending.

Thanks for asking, I feel the same way

Mr. Peabody

It is a little unfortunate as we have a very active local corvette community around here. But to stay 4 days in SeaTac is no resort.

If it's so limited it would have been better to have it at someplace along the north cascade route that actually is a resort.

I would be the last one to throw a damper on a corvette event .. but this seems like it's set up for out of towners. If you look at the national parks tour in September it looks like a great thing to drive to and then do the tour!

DeLuxe package at a Sea-Tac hotel?

Really too bad they don't invite locals to join them on cruises and museum tours and whatnot.

Yeah I thought about that too

Joe, quit complaining. Second prize was two deluxe packages at a Sea-Tac hotel.

Wonder if that includes the "Green River Killer Tour" or a visit to Sammamish State Park to see where Ted Bundy got his start. (okay, I'm sorry, just venting a little - after all I'm only mentioning this on the NW forum)

It seems a shame that for whatever reason they didn't coordinate with the local Corvette Clubs to help with hospitality and the like? Or did they?

Is this "moving" event mean that many people will be driving their Corvettes or does it infer airplanes and tour busses?

BTW, OP. just to clarify , The Museum of Flight at Boeing Field (not to mention the restoration center at Everett's Paine Field) is not the Air and Space Museum like the one in Washington D.C. Just sayin' Both are excellent museums, but different.

So, not to detract from what will probably turn out to be a successful event, but it's too bad those of us who share the passion of our Corvettes don't get the chance to share the passion we have for where we live.
