Meetups - Seattle Area

Now that we are the largest social group on the forum, if there are enough of us in the Seattle/Eastside/Tacoma area, would anyone be interested in a meetup at a brewery etc at some point? There are plenty of good food and drink options in Seattle, but I think something further out where there's more parking might be more enjoyable for photos, walking around, etc. Open to suggestions if people have a place in mind.

NoLi in Spokane would be perfect!

Haha I've been tempted to go to Spokane for a night to get fitted for boots. Would definitely be down to add this to the itinerary.

I’m still waiting on mine to arrive (currently being told in July) but I’d be down to meet up. Lots of options in the North Bend and Snoqualmie area.

I'd be down!

I would love to meet up sometime as long as it isn't too far away. Not a big fan of the city but can make it work.

7 Seas Brewery and Taproom in Tacoma could be an option

Great idea. Some places we could all park our Grenadiers together!

@Lemon35 and I did a shake down run to Paradise Falls but came up short due to the deep snow. We plan on exploring some more NF roads in the near future. if any one is interested in joining. Pics from our trip need to be resized. I tried to attach a few.

I'd be interested. Are you going to the Elliot Bay outing on the 20th? Looking forward to that since I missed the first 2.

Anyone hear details about 4/20 with EB? I know Mike was checking the snow situation. I will be attending if I get my Grenadier back. (Should be next week) NF Roads sound fun, keep us posted please @Lemon35.

Just waiting on the details to make the decision.

I would like to go on the 20th, any details available ?

Mike sent an email with all the details at 3pm. Below is an excerpt. Sounds like it will be a good event

The Plan will be to meet at the Elliott Bay INEOS Grenadier showroom at 7:30am for complimentary coffee and doughnuts. We will all then depart at 8:00 for the Snoqualmie Pass Parking Lot. From there Mike will guide everyone from the meeting area down a short stint on the freeway to the trailhead. The trail will take us from the beach of Lake Kachess through the hills to Speelyi beach on Lake Cle Elum.

Be prepared for a half day on the trail, this is a medium to moderate difficulty trial so while Winches, Lockers, and Rock-sliders aren't strictly recommended, always expect the unexpected. During my planning trip there was snow on some portions of the trail so please dress accordingly for the weather.

I don't have an EB Grenadier so I don't get their emails.

Unfortunately I'll be traveling on the 20th @JayKrup

I just sent my RSVP for the EB event on 4/20. Hope to see some of you there.

We will be there. Thanks Mike for arranging this!

I just emailed Mike to let him know that my rig is still not fixed after 3 weeks on 2nd attempt. I hope those of you going have a great time.
UPDATE - parts showed up this afternoon. Monday repair - wait until Tuesday??
