Shuttle from the airport

Here's a question that has come up several times -- "If I fly into the Seattle airport -- how can I get to Puyallup?"


After talking to some of the local hotels -- the answer is the SHUTTLE EXPRESS. Way back when, I can remember flying into Seattle and taking this shuttle down to Puyallup. Mary Mulari made the arrangements -- and we were staying at the Northwest Motor Inn, across the street and up the road...(I think I ate every meal at Caittin's that year)

Anyway -- the shuttle is still running!! It is reasonably priced -- check the rates for sure....something like $44 one way. Be prepared -- it takes some time to get to Puyallup. And with this shuttle, you could stop at other hotels and towns along the way.

Here's the website...

Hey -- could we use Facebook, to "hook you up"?

Is there a way you could GO ON FACEBOOK -- and say "NEED A RIDE FROM THE AIRPORT" -- then maybe ya'll could build a "group" that would go directly to Puyallup? The Shuttle Express has different "group rates" -- and this might save some money. And be MUCH FASTER...

I don't know how to do it -- but if YOU DO -- email me and I can set up a page on the show Facebook page. (ritafar@aol.com)

AND -- HEY -- be sure to check on the official show website SEWEXPO.com -- tomorrow -- because Ann will be posting the updated SPEAKER BIOS.

So -- all this additional information should help you decide WHICH CLASSES you want to take!!

My love for Japanese textiles and crafts began in the 1960's when my father was stationed at Kadena Air Force Base, Okinawa. We had a mama-san who came weekly to teach us how to shop in the local markets and cook oriental dishes. She also taught me to do Bunka, Japanese punch embroidery. I had learned how to sew at an early age and felt a real excitement at being taught different hand stitching crafts. Over 15 years ago, I learned Sashiko from a Japanese woman and fell in love with the process. An easy embroidery technique using a running stitch, Sashiko is relaxing and fun and creates a sense of peace while stitching. Sashiko is elegance in simplicity. We opened our shop, Shibori Dragon, in September 2002, which specializes in Asian fabrics and other related textiles. Sashiko is one of our specialties and I have been collecting historical Sashiko pieces for the past 10 years.
