We headed out around 8am so we could make it to Seattle around 11am. My car was packed to the max, I had to fit everything in it that I wanted up in Alaska with me.

The Suburban had my couch in the back and mattresses strapped to the top. I followed my mom so I could make sure those mattresses weren't going anywhere. We met my dad in Tacoma and headed for Seattle Port.
Once at the port I had to weigh my car, which was around 5350 lbs, then they labeled my couch, car, and mattresses.
I handed over my keys so they could get my car and stuff all cozied into a crate for the 10 day boat ride ahead.
