With the Washington State Patrol and the Washington State Department of Transportation, we will be shutting down the express lanes of the main east-west corridor of the state on I-90. They are originally giving us 3 hours but we are in talks to increase this time as we may have such a large number of cars for this event.
Pre-staging will happen on Mercer Island (location TBA) where everyone will be registered and numbered. We will then allow the cars to individually enter the freeway via the HOV entrance off the island. Everyone will make it to the west bound side of the lanes (before it merges back into the Seattle traffic). We will again line everyone up and remind them of the rules.
There will be media on hand (aerial, photography, and journalists) so please be on your best behavior!!!
If you want to be involved as a sponsor or know someone who does, please send an email to
scionparade@teamascension.org.
Everyone will receive a Scion parade commemorative record-breaking take-away.
There will be prizes for furthest driven (to all you non-PNW peeps who want to attend this)!
This event is a fund-raiser for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Greater Washington Chapter. Remember, the Pacific Northwest has three times the rate of occurrence than anywhere else in the WORLD. We are asking for people to give donations as they are lead.
We are also lining up a kick-ass after party with more information to come!
Like I said...this is preliminary info to get it on your calendars. More will come out and this thread will be updated.
Promotional flyers will be created and passed out in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia through events and dealerships starting in April.
REMEMBER THIS POST WILL CHANGE CONSTANTLY WITH UPDATED INFORMATION SO CHECK BACK OFTEN!!!
