Third Wednesday, May 15: McMenamins Elks Temple
565 Broadway, Tacoma, WA 98402
We've been watching the renovation and eagerly awaiting the opening day, which is April 24. Now we'll have the chance to sketch inside and out for the first time. There are seven floors to explore.
Meet at 10 am at the Spanish Steps. This photo shows the unrenovated Temple.
Please support our sketcher-friendly venues by buying their food or beverages while sketching on their premises. So be generous, be considerate of the establishment and their customers and show the world how sketching can help everyone to be happy!
Plan to allow time to find parking in the area as it could be a challenge since it seems McMenamins has none of its own!
One suggestion is to take the Link Light Rail (trolley) to the Theater District Station and walk less than a quarter mile to the Spanish Steps. Parking is free at Freighthouse Square and the trolley starts there.
Freighthouse Square
2501 E D St, Tacoma, WA 98421
