SEATTLE/TACOMA area in November

I’ll be visiting my wife’s family in a few weeks in the area around SeaTac.
Any layouts or hobby shops worth visiting? Any local  :ashat:’s?
(I did get to see the fabulous HO layout inside the old Tacoma depot/museum on our last trip).
As always, suggestions and ideas much appreciated!

Hi Otto


Walt Huston is in Tacoma and encourages visits if he is home.  I can put you in touch with him.

I reside in the area (South by 50 miles or so) and can probably facilitate a couple of hookups.

Hobby shops... No.. (at least not from Downtown ... North..)

Not sure on SeaTac area/South..
If you can find what remains of Seattle Train Center.. that may still be worth a visit.

Not really anything in the way of hobby shops; Galaxy Hobby up in Lynnwood, but not much else, and they have almost nothing in the way of trains.

I can show you around the steamship I work on.

Galaxy hobby lost their lease October 1st and is no longer there don't know if they'll be back or not.

There's eastside trains in Kirkland about a mile or 2 west of I-405.

There's Broadway hobbies in Everett behind the QFC 1 block north of Everett Ave & Broadway.

Not much anymore up north both above listed shops have n scale/ho and more.
