Tibbets Park & Ride in Issaquah, 7am.
Bandera seems to be getting popular, so let's try to get there on a weekday. If we are lucky we will have gorgeous views and beautiful wildflowers. WTA route description:

The ridge between West Summit (the false summit) and the true summit could be hard to follow, but the glory of reaching the true peak will make it all worth it. Make sure you are comfortable with travel on less-well-maintained trails; I'm not sure what to expect on the ridge.
Pace will be moderate. We will plan to keep moving and take snack breaks as needed, but nobody will be left behind.
