Default Commuting from San Juans...???

Hey guys...saw THIS place pop up on the house radar...and heard a few ALK guys commute from San Juans to SEA. What is best way? Some guys on the "other" forum said Kenmore, Horizon from BLI, or just get a Cessna and fly to BFI. Anyone know the details of the BFI option...where to park, cost per night etc. would Tac Narrows be better? Thanks for info

How many days a year of rain? Looks nice for a great price.

Baja.

Does Alaska still require the 1000hr turbine PIC?

No, they removed the 1000PIC requirement. However, I think most guys are coming into class with over 1000.

Realtor told me about the "olympic rain shadow"...san juans get about 20"/yr vs 36" in Seattle.

Its true. If you drive down Whidbey Island from Oak Harbor about the time you get to Greenbank, the trees change from pines to deciduous trees. That's a difference of about 20-25 inches of rain a year.

Sequim has over 300 days of sunshine due to the Olympic rain shadow. Its a very popular town for retirees, especially those from the state of Alaska.
