What's the weather like on I-90 b/w Seattle and Spokane and north of Seattle on I-5 during this time? After the Spokane show I have a ferry to catch, which is about a 5.5 drive from Spokane and I'm just planning what to expect in terms of weather and likelihood of getting stranded or slowed down.

weather can very greatly. Some people say "the passes are always clear", but from personal experience: I highly doubt they drove I-90 during Thanksgiving holiday every year for multiple years in a row.
The first 4-5 years I drove across the pass would get a bit hairy. One year it was heavy wet slushy snow, another year it was powder, another year, it was light and fluffy.
One year, it was big fluffy flakes...flakes the size of silver dollars. We stopped in Roslyn for gas and they mentioned that the passes might close, but all the hotels were full. We pressed on, and at the summit, they closed the pass, traffic just stopped. One hour from our destination, and we got to spend the night on I-90...7 hours just sitting on I-90 trying to stay warm.
At the very least, carry chains, warm clothes, a blanket, and some food/water in your vehicle with you.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
Anyone driving from wisconsin to Spokane? If so let me know if I can hitch a ride, I'll help pay for gas!

Are you coming from Hong Kong? If so I doubt you will want to drive from Wisconsin. Plus I doubt anyone will be driving. It's FAR!!
Where will you be coming from before you arrive in Spokane?
im not from Hong Kong, just lived there a little while. i live in wisconsin, and i didnt relize that the spokane show was thanksgiving weekend, and flights are pricey, so i might drive possibly, or hitch a ride if anyone is driving. i have my college roomate that lives in spokane so i have a place to stay. i know its a long drive, he used to drive it to come to college like twice a year.

I really think Spokane will get a show like Baltimore got last night. Plus the arena is tiny compared to most arenas the band is playing in. Can not wait! Havent seen PJ in GA since 1998 at Memorial Stadium in Seattle...
Booked a room-can't remember the name, but they are running a special for the Holiday Weekend, $59/night-$30 cheaper than what any of the other booking sites gave me.
Tried to get a room at Red Lion so I could use our corporate discount, kept getting a 503 error.

My guy and I will be there for sure now! Got grandma flying in for Turkey Day and I fly out for PDX-Spokane-Calgary-Vancouver. Soooo excited! And I just moved away from the snow. The last time it snowed here was in the 80s. I'm excited for snow too!
Hi. I posted in the given to fly section and i hope im in luck.
Eliot....I would gladly take 1 or both of the GA tickets from ya. Im in need of a GA ticket for a Spokane teacher that wants to see a PJ show. She is super fun and i promise that person i buy the ticket from drinks or something. I want 1 but ill gladly take both and i can find another pj fan that would want it.

Too many shows to list: From my first show in Hawaii when they opened for RHCP to upcoming 2016 MSG and Wrigley. Seen them in every continent except Africa and Antarctica.

Ahh okay. I just wanted to be sure!
Montvale is a fun old hotel, if you get a change eat at the Catacombs Pub located in their basement, good food cool atmosphere.
