[pct-l] Ride from Seattle to Snoqualmie Pass

[Tom Griffin]

While there is not public transport to the pass, there is shuttle 
service to Cle Elum, which is about 15 miles east of the pass on I-5. 
Some PCT hikers have been known to convince the driver to stop at the 
pass (tips can help), even though technically the drivers aren't 
supposed to do it. Others have reported that it's an easy hitch back to 
the pass from Cle Elum. Here's a link to the Airporter Shuttle

It's a beautiful trip between Snoqualmie and the border and you are 
going at the right time of year. If you want to see my trip reports on

>My wife and I hiked the trail in 2007 and were one of the crowd that got hit with early snow at the end of September.  We ended up being stopped at Snoqualmie Pass.  Rather than give up on our attempt to reach Canada, we road walked 160 miles from Snoqualmie and crossed the Canadian border at Abbotsford, but we weren?t able to finish the trail at Manning Park. We?re now planning to hike the last section of the trail from Snoqualmie to the border, starting on August 21st or 22nd.  I know that public transportation isn?t available from Seattle to Snoqualmie Pass, and so was wondering whether anyone might be able to give us a ride late on the 20th or on the 21st from the airport to the pass.  Obviously we?d pay for gas etc.
