Rob, what is the etiquete that you put in the Puget Sound material?

Nyland has scheduled one Sunday monthly when they give tours.  I'm not sure
how successful they have been in keeping people from wandering around at
other times tho.

At Highline Crossing, we are still in the building/selling stage, so we want 
visitors whenever we can entice them to come, (preferrably weekends)
as long as it doesn't interrupt the workers.
