Default Any corvette owners in the Seattle area???

Hello everyone! I am new to the forum and just got my first vette, a 03 yellow z06. I live in the Seattle area and would be interested to meet other corvette owners in the area to go on weekend cruises, track etc... If anyone from this area let me know

There are a lot of Corvette owners around here.. I dont do track - just use my Grand Sports to haul my golf clubs to the courses around the area.

There are Corvette Clubs in almost every area and depending on exactly where you live you should be able to find one that meets your needs. Check a couple of them out and decide which one fits with what you want to do. A lot of owners belong to more than one club. I belong to Puget Sound Corvette Club. Look up our web site and you will see what we do and there are links in the site to most of the other clubs so you can check them out.

If you go to the Tacoma Corvette Club Website and look in the bottom left corner on the home page, you'll find a link to several Corvette Clubs in Washington.

Here's a couple of schedules you might find useful. Not all are for Corvettes,exclusively, but you'll often find Corvettes in attendance

Hey, I'm back in a vette again. I'm also interested in cruises too. Maybe a lunch cruise.

Years ago we had the Rootbeer Raiders probably those guys have moved on.

There are a few of us still around.

Were you with the group that met at the JC Penny parking lot at the Tacoma Mall back in 2004 and we all cruised up to the XXX in Issaquah? That was the very first meetup of what became the Rootbeer Raiders...

That's where Mark, Mr. Peabody, used to work. He's still a part of the group that still hangs out occasionally.

Yes we did a couple of tours when I was working there.

Here we are at the shop in Ballard to see sections of a yacht hull that we were constructing.

The later pics are from the plant in Kent where we were building patrol boats for the Coast Guard.

I'm in Everett with a black C6. Where'd you buy your Z06? We both got our cars around the same time. I was also considering a yellow 03 Z06 at the time. Could possibly be the same car

I keep the car at my brothers house also in Everett. I bought the car in south Cali and had it shipped here. Best deal I could find was out of town. Did you get a C6 Z06 or base?

Ahh okay, I got a base C6 because we were in a rush to get another car after the accident with my C5 (rental car insurance stuff) But the 03 Z sold right after I got my C6. I was honestly hoping you didn’t buy it from the dealership that was selling it. I looked at a base C5 they had while I was shopping for my C5 a year ago and it had ALOT of problems they weren’t willing to fix. I was hesitant on looking at the Z they had because of that.
