Pacific NW Saturday November 8th meet

Hey everyone, it's that time again for our monthly meetup! Sorry it's been a bit since we got together—after hosting the amazing NSXPO in September, I needed a little break to recharge and catch up on things. I hope everyone had a fantastic time! Our team worked incredibly hard for a whole year to make it happen, and with the support of our awesome local volunteers, we pulled it off! We've been hearing lots of great feedback from those of you who attended, and it really means a lot. Thanks so much to everyone who signed up and joined us this year — we hope you had a great time!

If you haven’t heard, next year’s NSXPO 2026 is going to be in Orlando, Florida — pretty much the furthest it can be from this year’s location! And then in 2027, it’ll be in Cleveland, Ohio. It was really great having one so close to home this year, and it might be a little while before we get another one this nearby again.

Saturday November 8th is the meet day.

For this months meet, we will start at Griots Garage. Here is the address if you don’t know where it is.

3333 S 38th St, Tacoma, WA 98409

Let’s meet at 9am with a departure around 9:30 or so.

We're planning to head out and cross the bridge on Hwy 16 toward Shelton, then take Hwy 3. If anyone's hungry by then, we can stop in Shelton for a bite. Otherwise, we can keep going for the next couple of hours and find a good spot for lunch later on if we haven't eaten already.

Here is the address for Blondie’s Restaurant in Shelton if you want to just meet there. It will be about an hour’s drive and 50 miles from Griots, so we should be there about 10:45 or so.

Blondie’s Restaurant

628 W Railroad Ave, Shelton, WA 98584

Here is the map for the first part of the drive.

After we stop in Shelton we will continue on to Wynoochee Lake in Montesano and then back to Satsop in Elma to maybe get a picture of all of us at the plant. This part of the drive will be about 2:15 or so and 93 miles.

Here is the map for the second part of the drive.

I’ll see you all on the 8th!
