Third Wednesday, October 17: Point Defiance Marina
Meet in front of the bate shop at 10 AM
Plenty of free parking in front of the marina and between the ferry terminal and Anthony's Home Port.
Great water view sketching from this location. A very active recreational and fishing community. Nice shady spots to sketch from as well as handy tables and benches.
Coffee and snacks at the bate shop on the pier. Anthony's Homeport restaurant is also on the pier (a little spendy but good food and atmosphere). The Antique Sandwich Shop is a short drive up Pearl st. and a fun place to gather with great sandwich menu.
