I will be moving to Issaquah, Washington. That is about 20 miles from
Seattle. Are there any clubs within an hours drive? Any web sites would be
appreciated as well.
Thanks

Frank,
You'll enjoy good modeling as well as prototype action in western
Washington.
One well known area club is Boeing Employees Model RR Club located in
Kent. See for info. They hold an annual swap
meet which is always well attended - next coming up Nov. 11. Don't have
names of other clubs but they do exist, depends on your interests of
course. NMRA active here also.
A number of good hobby shops around here. For example, Seattle Train
Center , North End Train Center
, Eastside Trains
and others listed in back of Model
Railroader mag. All of these places should be within an hour of your new
location. And this area has several active and operating RR museums, one
in Snoqualmie is within 15 miles of you -- Northwest Railway Museum
. Have fun......
HHH.

Thank you very much for the information. Unfortunately, I don't think I will
be able to get to the train show this year. (that seems to happen a lot to
me) We are taking possession of the house on Monday Nov. 6 and the furniture
will arrive later that week and I am planning to be unpacking. I will
however, look them up.
There is the Washington state Historical museum show december
