Austin 0 #1 June 4, 2004 I just moved to Renton and will probably be heading to Kapowsin this Saturday or Sunday. Is anyone from here going to be jumping there this weekend that is interested in doing a little freeflying? Austin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #2 June 4, 2004 Not me..

Austin 0 #3 June 4, 2004 This Seattle Skydivers thing is going on at Kapowsin?? How far is Snohomish from Renton?? If it's not real far, I'd be tempted to drive up there if it's going to be students having their way all weekend. Austin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #4 June 4, 2004 The event is at Snohomish.. just head up I 405 from Renton to SR 522 take that to the end at Monroe.. go West on US2 to Snohomish about 5 miles.. and get off at 88th st exit. Go left it leads you to Downtown Snohomish.. go to Ave D turn left cross the river and Harvey Field is on the right. the DZ is back behind the Buzz Inn...its an all weekend thing. Its not just about the students but low time jumpers with the experienced people helping them up thier skill levels in all aspects. It should be fun for all people. Lots of fun dives... freefly coaching.. Belly coaching.. Canopy control... its the OTHER DZ in the area.and is probably about the same distance for you either way. P.S. lots more DZ.Com posters at Snohomish it seems. although there are some at Kapowsin. Lurkers abound at both DZ though. you really need to check out both DZ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Austin 0 #5 June 4, 2004 ah ok, that doesn't sound bad then. Maybe I'll head up there this weekend instead. Austin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #6 June 4, 2004 There are plenty of people who jump at both places.. Kapowsin has the Otter but when the clouds are around SNohomish is a good choice for getting in more jumps.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeaKev 0 #7 June 4, 2004 Welcome to the area, Austin. Come on up to Snohomish. Like Jeanne said, if the weather gets a little sketchy, it's the place to be. Hell, it's the place to be period. Renton is equidistant from both places, and depending on the time and events, the commutes on 405 and 167 can suck hardcore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdctlc 0 #8 June 4, 2004 Both places ae fun!! I will be at Snohmish on Sat for the "Gonna Be Day" and hope the weather will cooperate. As was noted: From Microsoft Streets Renton to Harvey Field (Snohomish) Summary: 32.3 miles (43 minutes) ----OR----- Renton to Kapowsin Summary: 39.8 miles (57 minutes) About the same time depending on traffic... Both places are fun and welcome to the area Scott C."He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
