Thomas: I suggest you pick a bit more specific location to avoid confusion. You might "meet at Rachel the pig" (http://flickr.com/search/?q=rachel%20the%20pig%20seattle&w=all)which is right by Pike Place Fish (where they throw the fish). By 6:00 most vendors will be closing down and it shouldn't be too congested there.

I was talking to Robert Scoble earlier tonight and he suggested that as part of our photowalk that we consider taking a ferry ride and hitting the sunset on the city on the ride back from the ferry. Said it would take about 40 minutes. Anyone have any opinions on that as part of the walk? I think sunset would probably be pretty late, 8 or 9pm.

Whoa, this is what I've been waiting for! :D
Cool, it will be a pleasure to meet some one that I read the blog, and take some street photos around Seattle.

Sunset today was 9:03pm, so that's the time frame we are looking for july too.

If we cross the puget sound, there is Alki beach, which have this pano view of the city (please don't notice the bad stitching):

I used to be a ferry commuter and the views are amazing. I'm definitely in for that. Even shooting the ferry terminals at Bainbridge and Seattle are good subjects. FYI, it's 40 minutes each way, so plan on an hour and a half round trip.

The ferry is a great idea but will take a big chunk of the evening as mentioned. I think more than 1.5 hours since there's loading time in there, too. I think the water taxi might be a better option, especially since once you get to West Seattle there are lots of photo opps as people are showing.

There is a very large observation deck where the water taxi docks in west Seattle. In addition to the skyline, you can also get nice views of the seaport.

Can't wait to meet you guys and photograph Pike Place. Have lived here two years but I've always chickened out because am too intimidated by all that character ;).

if 50+ people show up, you're going to need a big venue. what's the water taxi capacity? and Pike Place close at 6 pm. Now, the Bainbridge ferry might work, especially if you're on the 7:20 or later boats.
Plenty of room. Overpriced beer. Photogenic top deck. (p.s. i'm biased since I live there - it'll be a one-way trip for me!)

Ugh, this conflicts with the Mike Yamashita talk I bought tickets to months ago, so I probably can't make it. http://www.awdpc.com/form/event071108/ Have fun!
