Same here. The note said to target arrival for about 1:00pm. Leaving from Bellevue, that means that I'll need about and hour and a quarter of straight driving time, plus meet-up time.
One option might be to meet up in Tacoma around 12:15 - 12:30.
Other ideas?

I'm coming from Sammamish.
My proposed route starting on the Eastside:
Stop #1 - : (Arrive 11:00, Depart 11:30) South end of Factoria Mall parking lot, Bellevue
(Alternate; Eastgate Shucks lot off of I-90- same as Wyrsh caravan meet????)
Stop #2: (Arrive 11:00, Depart 11:30) Gene Coulon Park in Renton. Parking Lot at Ivars next to Boat Launch. (Alternate; Southcenter Mall in Tukwila to meet up with those coming from the North on I-5)
Stop #3: (Arrive 12:00, Depart 12:30) Exit 127 off of I-5 in Lakewood. (Intersection of SR 512 & I-5) South-enders will have to help out with the place, I think there's some kind of shopping mall and easy on/off access to I-5 here.
I vote to avoid Tacoma as it ***** to get back on the freeway once you're off.
Each leg is about a 30 min. drive. Tried to allow some lag time in-between.

Looks like a great route! I vote for Eastgate, as it's way easier freeway access than factoria mall. I'll join you there.
Isn't the Shucks on the south side of I-90 though? Wouldn't it be easier to meet at, say, the Dairy Queen in the Toyota parking lot, or Little John's Restaurant on the North side?

Parking is tight at the DQ- impossible on weekdays, not sure about the weekend though. Shucks has better parking and we can take the loop under I-90 to the 161st entrance. To start out on the north side, I think the McDonalds on 156th would work. Big lot, straight access onto I-90.
Any thoughts on the south(ish)-end stops? Any one coming from Puyallup or Tacoma area? Anyone from Everett care to chime in on a possible north end.
Let's get this nailed down and I'll send a message to Heather to forward via e-amil.

I'm coming from Seattle. It would be best for me to meet up at Southcenter. I'll plan to be there at 11:00.

OK. Just looked at my original post and I'm pretty sure we can't be in Eastgate and Southcenter at the same time. So...
Stop #1) 10-10:30am; Eastgate Mcdonalds (on 156th, next to Days Inn)
Stop #2) 11-11:30am; Southcenter Mall, northwest parking lot by Nordstrom/Bahama Breeze (where the movie theater used to be)
Stop #3) 12-12:30pm; Lakewood? need suggestions for a location as I don't recall what is there. If no one wants to meet/stop there, we can postpone the previous stops.

Does herding cats have a familiar ring?
The members that have made the trip before are far wiser than I on the timing, and since we're all creatures of habit, we should go with what's been done before.
1) Depart 11:15 a.m. from The Totem Lake Country Buffet.
1a) Depart 11:20 a.m. from Lil' John's in Eastgate.
2) Depart 12:00 p.m. from the SouthCenter northwest parking lot by Nordstrom/Bahama Breeze, where the movie theater used to be.
3) Depart 12:30 p.m. from the I-5 Southbound Fife truck scales.
