I haven't been to a show since the June Baltimore show, and I'm itching to see some coins. That said, I do most of the commute from Seattle to Everett every day and hate it, so I don't really want to make myself drive it an extra time if the show isn't worth it.
For those who have been in the past, is this a show worth attending? Any word on number of tables/quality of offerings?

2 years (or was it 3?) ago, it was pretty cool. Some nice stuff was found, imho. Not in huge volumes but still pretty nice.
Last year, it was a bust. Blah stuff. Cleaned stuff. Way overpriced stuff.
That said, I will still try to go. It's a pretty cool little local show and one never knows what one will find.
I will likely try to go Saturday though.
As for the commute...aside from the distance, and the area around the U, on I-5, the traffic shouldn't be too bad...unless there is an accident. Just try to avoid lunch time
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

The commute is usually fine on the weekend... but doing it 5 days in a row doesn't make it conducive to do it when I don't have to... it's still 30+ miles each way
I've never been to the Everett show, so I couldn't tell you yeh from neh. But, I am looking forward to heading to the January 2010 FUN show
I went to this show 3 years ago. The usual dealers who make the local show circuit were there, plus a few that I had not seen before. If you have not been to a local show it may be worth going, as I remember there were around 30-40 dealers. You never know what you will find at a local show. I am not going, busy with family events this year. The Boeing show in the Winter and PNNA in the Spring are the only regional shows of any size, unless a national show comes to Seattle, which happened last with the 1990 ANA.

I plan to be at both, which are conveniently 10 minutes away from me

You and Russ both....
Ya know, thinking about it now, I don't think you two have ever been seen together...hmmmmmmmm......are there really 2 separate people or just 1 with 2 identities?
Oops...better throw Rob (holeinone1972) into that mix as well now.

I think traffic out here in the Seattle area is terrible whatever day it is.....I have sat longer on the weekends than during the week.
What happened to you? You graduate from MIT and get a job at Boeing and suddenly a short drive on the weekend beats you. I losing faith, man.

Shhh....I was going to let him find that out as well...particularly if he tries it on a game day
