Comrades I need help.
(hexbear.net)
Wish I could but I'm across the fucking pond ๐๐๐
So far my plan is:
Visit the Lenin statue 
???
Get to South Dakota.
I may not be an experienced traveler but I am a very experienced outdoorsman. I have a tent and I 0 degree rated sleeping bag. I will get there one way or another.
lmao I can't help either due to UK but bumping and GOOD LUCK nakoichi
Time of day probably is the reason you're getting brits in here rather than the americans you need lol
I'M NOT A BRIT :kitty-cri-screm:
You are now. 
Average Pole 
Allah save me for I have been cursed to be an anglo against my nature and will.
Kinda hard to sleep rn. I get home from work at 11PM and I was already anxious about flying and now I have resolved myself to getting from a city I have never been to, in a state I have never been to, to a city in a state I have only been to once.
Rendezvous?
Sounds like a fun adventure tbh. I've done similar in Europe but density makes it way easier.
Since you'll be in Fremont
Fremont vintage mall
Pacific Inn
Seattle brewing
George and the dragon
There are a bunch of really good weed stores in Fremont
Don't know about Seattle brewing. I meant Fremont brewing.
Un Bien makes killer samiches but had meat.
Chucks hop shop is good
Add a ball
Definitely do not go to Fremont Brewing. It's co-owned by Sara Nelson who is the absolute worst of Seattle's many, many fauxgressive NIMBYs. She won her whole campaign on villainizing homeless people, and she continues to terrorize them from office.
Ok got it, fuck Fremont Brewing.
Good to know! Ty for the heads up.
Best place to play pool?
Not sure I can fully help with that. George and the dragon has pool table but it's a dingy English pub, we go there alot for soccer.
Pacific Inn has a pool table. And its a pub that Anthony Bourdain hyped up to save it. All fried food but good and cheap. It's a walk down JP patches place from Fremont. Along the way there a great many other places to check out.
As a neighborhood goes there are so many good places to check out in Fremont. It's hard to go wrong.
Fremont vintage mall
Okay this sounds kinda right up my alley. What sort of stuff they got?
It's a large consignment shop in a basement. It's has everything vintage and a good selection of souvenir/post cards.
There are flights from Seattle to Scottsbluff Nebraska for less than $200, and then a bus from there to Pine Ridge for $50
Also flights to Alliance, NE. But you might have to wait a little longer for tickets below $200
This might be my best option. Like I said I gotta get there in 5 days maybe 6.
Totally would but my car smells like weed sorry, plus there are seltzer cans everywhere. Filth
You stole my car?
It's a doggy dog world you know what they say
A lot of things become a lot easier if you can get picked up from Rapid City or Hot Springs.
A one-way trip by plane from Seattle to Rapid City on this short of timeframe is looking like upwards of $400.
Amtrak can get you within 300 miles, to Williston ND, where there's a good amount of traffic going north/south to western SD.
You may have to hitchhike after that. I've never done this but I know a handful of people who have, and that part of the country intuitively feels like the best place to have an adventure like that.
Amtrak or even a Greyhound will get you there in a few days
Good point.
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net there are bus-only routes that will take you from Seattle to Rapid City, for maybe $150. Do make sure to pick the ones with plenty of space between the legs of the trip, as long-distance busses in this country are notoriously tardy.
Thank you and everyone else
Update: I volunteered to take a later flight as they were booked and the airline gave me $600.
Which was twice the cost of my ticket
Bump, also good luck 
Good luck!
Wish I could help, but unfortunately fate had other plans
Let me know if there's any sort of paint or defacing on Lenins statue so I can pass the message onto my folks down there whether it needs cleaning again or not.
Seattle tips: public bathrooms are near non-existent in Seattle as far as my tour down there concluded. The light rail system is a great money saver in the places it runs, otherwise public transport is alright when needed, just gotta research ahead of time. Water can be expensive there. Greyhound or amtrak are your best bet for travel out of the state but you should've been looking up their timetables beforehand to try and catch one that lines up best with your timeframe.
Yeah I literally just found out about the car rental falling through last night when I made the post.
~~Ah well if you'll be using a car to drive there, I'm no expert on the route but the I-90 should be the route of choice.~~
Edit lack of reading skills in the early morning. Woly has the best suggestion out of us.
Also make sure to carry at least two-three days of supplies in terms of water and light food (like 3-4 liters of water and a bag of granola) just in case anything happens while you're in bumfuck no-signalsville, double check distances between gas stations on your route there to ensure you're always topped off to get there, take breaks every 3-5 hours to stop and stretch the legs, and make sure to have plenty to talk about because it'll be a long drive.
Edit: take from the second paragraph what sounds useful since its not necessarily a roadtrip lol
