This post is much delayed due to my travels. Pam Jenkins sent photos from the outing at Harbor Teak in Gig Harbor October 17. On a rainy cold day two hardy sketchers braved the winds.

There is also a second floor glass bridge which offers views of campus.

Third Wednesday, November 20: Seven Seas Brewing Tacoma
2101 Jefferson Ave, Tacoma, WA 98402
This location offers a large interior space, housed within the Historic Heidelberg Brewery.
There is also "Built", a small restaurant.
Be courteous and support venues that are sketcher-friendly by partaking of their food and drink while we sketch their unusual and unique interior. So be generous, be considerate of the establishment and their customers and show the world how sketching can help everyone to be happy!
There is 90 minute free street parking near the venue. Alternatively, there is paid parking in the UW's Cragle lot down the hill. There might be spaces available in the alley, but it's a long climb up the stairs!

Out of the rain
The lodge-like setting with it's large stone fireplace, mounted hunting trophy's, realistic dioramas featuring huge outdoor murals, an amazing array of taxidermy, water features flowing into a large live fish aquarium all add to an overwhelming visual experience. While The Bass Pro Shop provides a dizzying visual experience for the sketcher, one is reminded, this is a retail establishment tempting the visitor at every turn with well displayed product for sale.
After sketching, we gathered near the big stone fireplace for our through-down and group picture, followed by lunch in the on-site restaurant.
