Seattle/Eastside Book, Map and Travel Gear Exchange Saturday April 13, 10-11 am

Looks like we will have a nice day for an outside meeting. The location is Luther Burbank Park on Mercer Island. Park map:

https://your.kingcounty.gov/GIS/web/Web/VMC/recreation/LB_2005_tabloid_300.pdf

Public transit—-bus 550 from either Seattle or Eastside to Mercer Island Park and Ride. The park is 1/4 mile from there. Driving—-take the Island Crest Way exit from I-90. Park in the North parking lot on the map if possible; or park in the South lot and walk through the park.

I will claim a table on the big lawn by the lake, between the Admin building and the off-leash dog area (near the flagpole marked on the map).

Travel books, maps, etc. can be placed on the table for others to view and take if they like. You are welcome to come and browse, or just talk travel, with or without books to “exchange”. I only ask that if something you bring is not claimed, you take it home with you.

I will have guidebooks, phrasebooks, driving and hiking maps, and more, for Portugal, Italy, and more. Also a brand new Sherpani Pica cross-body bag I bought on “final sale” and will not use.

You are welcome to bring your dog (leashed) for play in the nice off-leash area before or afterwards.

Please let me know here or by PM if you are planning to attend, or thinking of it. We had a good turnout last time and it was lots of fun. I hope for the same this time.

Oh, I’m sorry to not respond Lola. I was going to come but understand if it didn’t work out. Next time I know to respond to you in plenty of time.

Just jumping back in to travel unexpectedly as a travel partner with my son (replacing the now ex-GF!). Since our weather has been so ugh this spring, I was wondering if you might be thinking about a different date for this. I would love to come. I had such a fun time talking to fellow travelers last year!
