The HPSW  picnic this year will be August 11th @ 11:30 hosted by Dragonfly Farms and Dreamscape Water Gardens.

HPSW will provide box lunches from Panera for members. Feel free to bring friends, spouses, etc. Their lunch will be $10. Picnic tables are available.

Dragonfly Farms and Dreamscape Water Gardens are located in Sultan on US 2, on the way to Stevens Pass. Address is 11125 – 323rd Ave SE,

Turn off US 2 onto Sultan Basin Road. Sultan Basin Road turns right after awhile, keep going straight onto 323rd, the address is the second driveway on the right

We will help arrange carpools once we know who signs up, since Sultan is a significant distance for most of us.
