Hi dowdingmurray:

All 2005 Subaru Outback 3.0 R VDC limited station wagons for sale in
the U.S. are assembled in Lafayette, Indiana.

This can be seen is several places, including:

Subaru of America, Inc
http://www.subaru.com/common/about/about_indiana.jsp

Research the 2005 Subaru Legacy Outback 2.5i, XT, XT Limited, LL Bean,
VDC, 3.0R sedan
http://www.cars101.com/subaru/outback/outback2005.html

The website for Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. (SIA), the actual
plant that assembles these vehicles, can be found at:

As for method of shipment from Lafayette to Indiana, I've not been
able to find any definitive information yet, but have found clues that
Subaru uses both train and truck to deliver new vehicles within the
U.S. (and border towns in Canada). Perhaps another researcher can find
more definitive information for shipping to the Seattle area and post
as a comment (to collect the tip).
