Do unlined boots ever get easier to take off?

Engineer boots?

[hairydangler]

Yes, Engineer… My Harness boots are lined, and they are much less hassle to remove.

Probably never. My oil tanned Boss are unlined on their third winter, so well broken in, and still a twat to take off. I think it must be a consequence of the rough side of the leather creating friction. Boot jacks are your friend.

@JDelage or @Dishelveled should be able to help. Think they're both in Seattle

No direct experience, but I'd go Waterfront, Renaissance, Courtyard/Pioneer Square in that order.  Check out Division Road if you're free, Blue Owl is a bit further away from down town.  When are you in town, might be fun to get a few locals together for a beer?

Thanks crew - our Los Angeles trip in June got cancelled so wanting to surprise my wife with a trip to see her sister in a few weekends, but don’t exactly want to stay on their houseboat with them [emoji23]

I’m always game for a meet up, however this will be my wife’s birthday weekend, but perhaps I can convince her a trip to division road and a few beers there is warranted for my effort

I've stayed at the Renaissance on Madison. Nice Hotel, especially if you get a room on a high floor. In a hilly area, good for exercise walking.    Then again Marriott waterfront may place you close to the house boat.

Good call guys! Waiting to get verification that the twins are taken care of for the weekend and will look at both the waterfront Marriot and the Renaissance. Thankfully one of my clients works for Marriott

Go with the Courtyard in Pioneer Square. We stay there at least once a year. The Renaissance is nicer and has a bigger room, but it's all the way at the top of a hill and it's a pain in the ass.

If you stay there, try the pasta place around the corner. It's only open during the week for lunch. It's amazing. Get there before they open the doors or else you'll be waiting for a while. The line goes around the corner pretty fast.

Edit: my wife goes there twice a year. I go once a year with her. It's our favorite hotel in the area. She's from WA so we head there once a year for personal travel. She goes there for work for a couple weeks every year.

Since your going for a weekend, and doing a nice surprise for your wife, have fun. Enjoy it.

Is their houseboat over by the Ballard Locks?

I like seeing what Haraki-san is working on with his sketches. Curious if these are sketches of stuff he's working on for SS19? I spy a new fabric swatch of flannel in the background

That would be my guess.
