Funny you should mention that. I was considering a one-way rental to drive to Seattle. The problem is if the weather turns nasty, and it can this time of year, Snoqualmie Pass can close and then I'm stuck. Guess I could drive over the day before. They rarely close the pass for more than several hours.
