Re: seattle area card rooms?
Diamond Lil's is still going strong. I have only been to Kenmore once a few years ago, and wasn't wild about the experience- small, smoky, and full of mopes.
Muckleshoot is a fair distance from Bothell; not far as the crow flies (maybe 40 miles?), but the godawful traffic to get there makes it over an hour easily. I have only played there once (but will be there again this Friday), but I enjoyed the experience. The staff was competent, the other players were fun, and I doubled my buy in in about 2 hours [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Tulalip in Marysville to the north might be easier to get to from Bothell- I am not a fan of the room, but other people here seem to be ok with it. Last I heard they had a capped buy in NLHE game that might be fun.
Last but not least- a lot of the 'mini-casinos' in the Shoreline area (just north of the Seattle city limits) are now spreading poker. I haven't had a chance to play in any of them yet, but from their radio ads ("Don't sit at home and watch poker on TV...come and play it yourself!"), they are catering to the WPT fan, so the fish are likely swimming.
