Seattle Even Especially
If the rain comes they run and hide their heads.

I was listening to the radio again, listening to WNYC again, this time this NPR piece about record rainfall in Seattle. No cause to recant the song and dance about unrelenting winter riding, it was, on the contrary (even though I got soaked today), only a reminder of what I might have mentioned in the first place. Everyone knows Seattle gets tremendous amounts of rain but what you might not know is that it also plays host to many hundreds of happy Vespisti, among them stalwart members of such organizations as the Belladonnas, the venerable Emerald City Flying Monkeys, nottomention the well established Vespa Club of Seattle. Maybe that even makes you want to pay the great scooter city a visit so don't forget about the deal at the Hotel Monaco -- Vespa rental rolled into the bill for a lovely suite. If the excellent offer hasn't been extended or if you plan to stay with family anyway (hi Mom!), you can go directly to ScootAbout for hourly, daily, and weekly rentals.
