Monthly Outings

Our monthly outings are usually the First Saturday, Second Thursday (Gig Harbor) and Third Wednesday. Also listed are any "ad hoc" outings planned (outside of the usual schedule). 

Please stay home if you're feeling ill, regardless of a negative COVID test.  It could be a cold, flu, or RSV to which older people are also vulnerable.  Our group has many Seniors. Even if it's "just a cold", we'd rather not catch it! Thanks for taking care of each other.

 Meet at 10 am in the adjacent parking lot.  “Hanwoori,” means “We are one.”

Second Thursday, Skansie Brothers Park

Skansie Brothers Park 

3211 Harborview Drive, Gig Harbor, WA  98335

Skansie Brothers Park


Skansie Brothers Park and Jerisich Public Dock

Meet at 10:00 near the Jerisich water fountain.  These parks offer scenic views of the harbor, historic Skansie Brothers Netshed, a covered pavilion and waterfront access.  The Jerisich Public Dock is located adjacent to the Skansie Brothers Park and offers public restrooms, a viewing platform, picnic tables and public dock.

The Gig Harbor Farmers Market will be setting up in the morning and opens at 1:00.  Street parking is available adjacent to the park.  Additional parking can be found a couple blocks up Pioneer Way, west on Judson Street near the Post Office.

We will be partnering with the Peninsula Art League Plein Aire Painters.

Third Wednesday, June 17: Farm 12

 3303 8th Ave SE, Puyallup, WA 98372

Meet at 10 outside the Fika coffee shop.  If you're following Google map directions, it gets confusing once you enter the Farm 12 area.  Just drive around until you see Fika.  There is parking next to it. 

There are many sketch opportunities around the grounds. Even if it's raining, there are overhangs and the coffee shop itself.   There is a Little Free Library on the grounds. 
 Perhaps the lupine field will still be in bloom.
