Since getting a Vanagon camper I've started seeing a lot more campers and meeting more people. I was curious to see how many other Vanagoneers were around the Puget Sound area.
I'm near the Northgate area of Seattle. _________________ 1984 Vanagon Westfalia 1.9 wbx

I'd guess that one in six of the regulars here are located somewhere around the Sound. _________________ Casey--

Possibly earier to ask 'who isn't?'.
Must be a hoot and a lot more fun to live somehwere with so many who share this madness. |

We need another one of those! Especially with this awesome weather we have been having.
What was the count there - Like 50+ vanagons at Marymore Park that day?
I would think between Portland and Seattle, we are probably the largest concentrate of Vanagon's in the nation. _________________ '89 Westy - EJ25/22 Frank 4.44 5mt

Cascadia is Vanagon country. We seem to have major clusters in Vancouver/Bellingham, Pugetopolis, Willamette valley and the Bay Area _________________ Casey--

Seems like with 1700 people at least two of them have met before for coffee.

Seems like a bad time to be meeting in Leavenworth. A little smokey out there these days.
I think vanagons are giving Subaru Foresters a run for their money in Seattle. They are everywhere. _________________ '88 SCA High/Pop-top Syncro camper

Don't count out Olympia.
There are a few nice vans down here too. Occassionally, I'll venture up into "Mordor" (Seattle) too!
When's the next Seattle meetup? _________________ '90 White Westy ("Knarr")
