BUMP
So I'm going down next Friday to pick something up and for a quick day trip.
I've been down and driven to and past Seattle a bunch of times but have never used the I405 or toll bridges. Where I'm going will require me to use the 405.
Is there anything I need to know?
I know beatdownvictim a couple months back said something about the new tolls being confusing?

| AFAIK, Washington and BC do not have an agreement in place for tolls, so you can drive on them as much as you want and they won't be able to come after you.

Is it pretty simple to navigate and easy sailing?
I'm guessing the 520 bridge is where the tolling is that you were talking about?
I know they won't charge, I'm not worried about the toll per say but rather the navigating

Yeah navigating south onto the 405 from I5 is fine, its the 2 right lanes and I find traffic kind of thins out after the alderwood mall exit(thats after rush hour though)
You can play it on the safe side and just take the right lanes before the alderwood mall exit?
Hit up the chickfila for me thanx!

Just found out Lowes in Canada has a 75 pack of lawn fabric staples for $9.99
Thank god for Lowes, eh? Too bad they're so freakin' far away. Almost as far away as Bellingham, hee hee.

| Lawn Fabric
Lawn fabric is what you need when the Mr. Big and Tall Shop no longer carries your size.

I heard Bellis Fair mall is accepting CAD at par right now.
Is there any truth to this rumour?

It also says up to 25% discount. Seeing that you're paying about $1.29CDN for $1USD, the maximum 25% discount means it won't exactly be on par.

Flying is where it's super sick. Wife just went on 2 trips to the US and both times she was the only person using the Nexus line while the regular line people were all looking at her like dafuq!

Save a ton of time over waiting in the normal lanes.

If any of you are planning on visiting Bellingham, check out the deli at Winco. Their salads are really worth it. Their Kung Pao and Orange Chicken are also good value for the money.

A good alternative to Walmart without having to drive so far down Guide Meridian.
