 Looking for the loosest game along I-5 around Seattle. I've played at most of the card rooms from Marysville down to Tukwila, and the games are just too tight to make any money. Wondering what other Seattleites' opinions would be on where and when to find a regular loose/passive game. Thanks!

This post never got any replies at all. Is there ANYONE out there from the Seattle area, or at least someone who's played there?
I'm heading out there in about 2 weeks and I need some kind of scouting report. Help!

Wow! Thirty cardrooms? That’s unbelievable (and great news). I’m flying out there to meet one of my sons who’s CG, stationed in Alaska. He wants to catch a White Sox game and that’s the closest one…plus it’s about the same distance for each of us. My other two sons are joining us. We get in late on the Friday after next (June 4). We’ll wander around the city on Saturday and see the Mariners in the evening, then we head back home on Sunday. My flight leaves at 7:30 am, so I don’t see any point in going to bed—I can sleep on the plane. I figure we just hit a casino all night. But which one?
I play 10/20. They like 5/10 as long as it’s not the lowest limit in the cardroom. Our hotel is near the airport on Friday night. We’ll just head out from the game on Saturday night. What’s your recommendation? Also, is there a website which would give the lowdown on the casinos in the Seattle area????
Thanks

Mindgame,
I am guessing your best bet is gonna be to play the lower limits...
You guys will get out of Safeco about 1030-11 and most of the cardrooms close around 4 here...
There are a couple near the airport that are open till 6 am...
Only a few casinos are allowed to spread higher than 4/8 in washington..
None "close" enough to make it worth the waiting list you would have to be on to get a game..
Here are a couple near the airport... +or- 5 miles
Midway Casino
22855 Pacific Hwy S
Des Moines, WA 10am-6am highest is s4/8
Silver Dollar Casino
19222 International Blvd
Sea Tac, 11am -7am 3/6
This one is about 15 minutes or so from the Airport and has the higher limits..
Diamond Lil's
361 Rainer Ave S
Renton, WA
10am -6am up to 15/25
Hope this helps...
GO Mariners...lol

Go for Diamond Lil's. It's not too far from the airport, a nice clean little Old West feeling cardroom with 4/8 and 10/20 available. It's a little far for me to drive, but I make the pilgrimage every once in awhile just to enjoy the character and ambiance.
Have fun and go M's!!!

Terrific info. You know, of course, I'd have never stumbled into the right casino accidently, so I really appreciate it. Thanks very much to all.
