New to Seattle

Hi folks, I just moved here from SF and wanted to say hi to all the i-clubbers in the area. I do know how to search and stuff - but I am looking for info on any of the following if you have a sec and want to chime in, I'd really appreciate it.

Rally-X - I've competed in two Rally-X in Cali, and would love to keep participating.

TSD Rallys - I've done a few including the BAIC series and the TRNT in Oregon. Any Subie specific TSD's around?

Alignment shop - any good places to go for alignment? I used a guy with a cool laser alignment machine in SF so I'm looking for similiar - always handy after a Rally-X.

Car Wash - sounds silly but are there any good "touchless" car washes around Seattle? I hate the ones with the machine scrubbers - they are hard on the paint.

Thanks again in advance, and I'll be sure to give a thumbs up to any of you I see around.

Casey

Yeah the rain's rather depressing, but you get used to it. As far as a brushless car wash - go to the Brown Bear ones at the 76 Stations. I think those are the best (brushes suck!). Welcome - hope to see you around!

P.S. What area are you in?

Thanks for all the words of encouragement!

I'm living in Belltown. I'll take a look at the Brown Bear car washes. I've seen a few already (not at 76 stations) that seemd to have nasty looking brushes. My car is filthy from the drive up, can't wait to get it clean!
