The 2010 Winter Olympics - A Quick Trip Away

The Winter Olympics will be held in Vancouver, Canada this year. That's only a two and a half hour drive away from Seattle! Let's put that in perspective.

Summer Olympics 2012: London. 14 hours of travel time. At least.

Winter Olympics 2014: Russia. Going out on a limb here (not really) and saying another 14+ hours.

Summer Olympics 2016: Rio de Janeiro. Taking a wild guess and estimating longer than 14 hours of travel time...

That being said, it's going to be at least another 8 years before you have a chance to travel a movie length away to witness one of the world's greatest sporting events.

So for those of you that live in Seattle, make the trip. Don't live in this great city yet? Make the trip up and spend a few days in Sea-town while you're on the your way to (or from) the Olympics. Check out our beautiful campus, breathe our crisp clean air, hit the slopes and visit the world-renowned Pike's Place Market - all great things you've heard about but have never had the chance to experience.
