Third Wednesday, September 20: Breakwater Marina
5603 N Waterfront Dr, Tacoma, WA 98407
This is a private marina to the right of the Vashon Ferry dock (as you enter toward the dock) at the entrance of Point Defiance Park. There are many boats to sketch, some construction, views of the sound and the Vashon ferry.
Meet at 10 am at the Kiosk next to the entry/parking for the Marina.
Directions: Do not enter the ferry line. Take the "through traffic" street to the left of the ferry lane. At the bottom of the hill, turn right to enter the Marina area. However, there might be no parking there and it is restricted (see below). Thus, turn left to park in the ferry parking lot.
Staff at the Marina said that if there are spaces, we may go to the office (far end of the parking lot) to request a parking pass. If you park in the Marina lot you must get a pass or be towed. If there isn't enough space for their customers, we'll have to park further away in the ferry lot.

Parking Day - September 15th (Ad Hoc outing)
Park(ing) Day is an international event in which artists, citizens, and businesses will temporarily transform a metered parking spot into temporary public space. Park(ing) Day’s mission is to call attention to the need for more urban open space, generate discussion and debate around how public space is utilized, and to improve the quality of urban habitat.
We'll set up between 9 and 10 am. Our park will be open from 10 am to 2pm. Location has not yet been assigned so watch this space for an update.
We'll have tables, as above in the photo. Bring chairs and your sketching kits. We'll be talking about Urban Sketching with the people who visit our park.
