If you don't follow AMA's posted NOTAMs, please be advised if you live in Washington State.
There is a NOTAM starting Jan. 29 through March 14 in accordance to the Winter Olympics.
Posted 1/16/10
A new FDC NOTAM/TFR has been issued for the extreme NW portion of the State of Washington, NW of Billingham and areas of the state within 10 miles of the international border (see map view). The TFR is issued as a security measure for the Winter Olympics being held in Vancouver, BC beginning 8:00a PST, Friday, 1/29 until 4:00p PDT, Wednesday, 3/24. Model aircraft operations are prohibited in this area during the dates of the TFR and for the entirety of the Olympic competition. Additional Notices to Airmen (NOTAM/TFRs) may be published to cover the event. NOTAM/TFRs are subject to change with very short notice. Please check back often for the most current NOTAM/TFR information. Timely alerts are also available on the web or on your cell phone at: Twitter.com/amagov.
See the link to the TFR below for more detailed information regarding the restrictions:

There's no joking with the NOTAMs. When Obama visited Raleigh, NC, recently, there was a huge area of no flying that extended well beyond our RX/TX ranges.
