In the Seattle area there are a couple of flying sites. If you are bringing a d/f or turbine powered jet, the nearest flying site is on Whidbey Island. It is a military installation and at this time only card carrying club members are allowed on the base to fly, thanks to Sept. 11th. For a while the base was completely closed to non-military personnel. Hopefully, by the June/July time frame things will have loosened up a little more and club members will be allowed to start bring guest again. If you will be flying a prop plane, there is a public field in Redmond at the Marymoor park. It has a 500 foot grass runway. Below you will find some links that may be useful.
