If you haven’t noticed, Sightline tends to hold Vancouver, BC as a champion for smart policy and good ideas (heck, they even live longer). You’ve also probably noticed that we love car-free vacations. Well, how about this: We’re giving away a car-free trip to our favorite walkable Northwest city and you—as a Daily Score blog reader—are a prime candidate to enter.

Here’s the deal: From today until October 29, if you sign up for a Sightline Daily email (either Sightline Daily or the Weekly Score), you’ll be entered to win a three-day, two-night getaway for two to Vancouver, BC. We’re calling it the “Escape to Vancouver Sweepstakes.”

Just click here to sign up and be entered in the drawing.

If you win, we’ll send you and a friend to Vancouver by train and then put you up at the posh Listel Hotel, located in the vibrant city center. You’ll dine at celebrated Green Table restaurants Chambar and Wild Rice. We’ve even lined up some of our favorite car-free activities for you, such as biking in Stanley Park, visiting the Museum of Anthropology, and a city tour led by urban planning expert (and Sightline board member) Gordon Price.

If you’re already a reader, don’t worry—you still have a shot at the trip. If you refer a friend using this form, and they sign up for Sightline Daily, you’ll also be entered to win (two friends sign up, you get entered twice, and so on).

For those of you that haven’t ventured to the news section of the site, here’s the run-down: our editors get up at 5am every weekday morning and read over 40 newspapers to hand pick the top 10 stories that are most relevant to the Northwest, which we send to your inbox by 10am. It's a great way to keep up with the latest news pertinent to life in our region--and it's easily readable in just a few minutes a day.

For more information, visit the prize page, see our sponsors, and if you want to get really wonky check out our rules and regulations.

anything for your loyal RSS subscribers or commenters?

Sadly, this contest will be just for new email subscribers. We greatly appreciate our RSS readers and commenters, but right now we aren't able to track our RSS subscribers. Hopefully in the future, once RSS tracking is better, we'll be able to extend this sort of sweepstakes to other audiences that read our work.

Thanks for your comment!
