We are fortunate to have a couple of really good kite shops here in Seattle. There is Gasworks Park Kite Shop, near (strangely enough) Gasworks Park on the north end of Lake Union. Phone is (206) 633 4780. Owned by Kathy Goodwind, they carry a good selection, with a slight emphasis towards stunters. Also worth checking out is Great Winds Kite Shop, located just north of the Kingdome in the Pioneer Square are. Phone is (206) 624 6886. Owned by Ken Conrad and Suzanne Sadow, their speciality is Chinese kites. They are certainly one of the largest, if not the largest, importers of Chinese kites. They also have a full selection of all types of kites. There are also Four Winds Kites in Everett and Mainframe Kite Shop in Tacoma if you're closer to either of these locations. One thing we are short on here is good flying areas. There is "Kite Hill" in Magnuson Park on Lake Washington.(until we lose it to the dogs!)My wife and I fly at Marymoor Park in Redmond. I understand some areas of Discovery Park are good. The best bet is to drive to Westport or Ocean Shores for the weekend. Email me for more info. Also, I recommend joining the WKA or SCI-FI for their newletters on local events. Good luck, and good winds, Steve Millspaugh <sparks@netcom.com> P.S. Do you fly fighters? ------- End of forwarded message ------- = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
