October 15 – Our Next General Meeting: A New Future for the Port Peninsula?
Note: This is the THIRD Tuesday of the Month
When: Tuesday, October 15, 2024 @ 7:00 pm (Doors open 6:30 pm)
Where: Olympia Yacht Club, 201 Simmons St NW., Olympia, WA
The Port of Olympia is embarking on a journey that could result in major changes to the Port Peninsula. A combination of factors is requiring the Port to reimagine its future, including the disposal of dredge material from the Budd Inlet restoration, the future expiration of the Weyerhaeuser lease of the marine terminal, sea-level rise, and a growing demand by the citizens of Thurston County for access to the water. Would a small boating sailing center be viable? Should the marine terminal area be repurposed into waterfront shops, a park, and condos? Does Boatworks need more winter boat storage and haul out spaces?
Join Camille St. Onge, Jon Wolf and Karen Andraden of the Port’s Master Planning Team to share your thoughts and ideas for transforming the Port Peninsula.
Winter Racing
In addition, we will explore ways to encourage more members to enjoy sailing by racing during our brisk and sporty winter months. We plan to do a bit of matchmaking with skippers and crew, explore essential clothing, and discuss the fundamentals of racing.
The October SSSS meeting will be on October 15 (the third Tuesday of the month) at the Olympia Yacht Club. Doors will be open at 6:30 PM with the meeting beginning at 7 PM. Bring your significant other, your crew, and other guests.
