If the recession is raining on your summer vacation plans, why not enter to win a free trip to the Washington coast, care of Seattlest and our good friends at Vacations by the Sea? This week we’re giving away a trip (worth about $900!) to wine, climb, and dine in beautiful Westport, Washington, smack-dab in what locals call the "Banana Belt."
If you’re the lucky winner, you’ll get:
- two weekend nights in one of Vacations by the Sea's lovely two-bedroom ocean- or park-view condos
- a complimentary wine, chocolate, and cheese tasting at the Westport Winery
- passes for two to climb Washington's tallest lighthouse (Grays Harbor Light Station, aka the Westport Lighthouse)
- and a $100 gift certificate to the Half Moon Bay Bar & Grill.
And did we mention the pool, for when your non-wetsuited companion discovers the Pacific Ocean is the coldest of the world's oceans?
Now take a look at examples of your weekend condo options: One, Two-hoo, or Three. And enter to win by filling out the form below! (If you can't wait to win, book online right here.)
We’ll be drawing the winner this Friday, June 26, at 3 p.m. One entry per person, please, and use an email you check--that's how we notify you!
Note: This vacation package can be redeemed anytime between July 7-30, 2009. By entering this contest, your email contact information will be provided to Vacations by the Sea for their one-time exclusive use (i.e., Vacations by the Sea can email you once about their vacation packages, but all further communication will be opt-in on your part).

Around The -Ists This Week


Broken link for the pool. I'm not entering until I understand full well what this trip is all about. What if the pool is filled with JELL-O (yum!) or KY Jelly (yow!) or ketchup (yuck!). I need to bring the right swim trunks.
Fixed! Don't worry about wardrobe, Troy, you're not going to win.
Oh yeah?! I'm always a winner in my book.
