hey trevor,
forecast looks good for a NW push on thursday afternoon.
on that wind direction this makes jetty island in everett the best bet.
unfortunately bellevue is about 45-60 minutes away from jetty island.
there are a couple of guys that try and make it work on the eastside in the bellevue/kirkland area, but I doubt it will be doable on that forecast.
check www.pskite.org for more info on puget sound kiting 411.
also keep in mind that to get to jetty island you will need to provide your own transportation onto the island. most kiters up here either have a small boat, kayak or SUP to get to this beach
