Dave Reichert who is running for governor will be our guest speaker this month. He will talk about the race, his opponent, the state of the state party and everything else and he will take questions from us too.
The October meeting is on a SUNDAY evening starting at 6pm and they run three hours.
(FYI, we do not meet in November and have a Christmas party in December at a private residence (location TBD later on)
This month we are returning to the North Seattle pizza restaurant that gives us a private dining room for free (free is always good). You can order dinner or drinks (soda, beer or wine) and not order anything at all. Just come to hear our next governor speak and be in a place with other LGBT Republicans and allies present.
Please RSVP for the location.
There is on and off street parking, good freeway access and its on two major bus routes.
We look forward to seeing you there, bring a friend.
Thanks!

We have a number of people who have traveled up to the Seattle area to attend Log Cabin Republican events for which we are grateful.
On Saturday, August 24th at 7PM Log Cabin Republicans will host a gathering down in Vancouver, Washington. (That is located in Clark County near Portland for those of you from Rio Linda)
Of course likeminded people from Portland are invited to attend also.
This is a chance for local LGBT and straight but not narrow folk to socialize with other likeminded folk to discuss all the relevant (and irrelevant) issues of the day.
Please note there is road work/bridge maintenance on southbound I-5 in the city of Woodland. That can sometimes close one to two lanes of the freeway creating delays. This may affect travel for those coming from the north to Vancouver.
We look forward to seeing you

Join Log Cabin Republicans of Washington for our October gathering where we provide the opportunity for connections and can discuss the latest issues of the day.
Again, to borrow one of the Left's phrases it’s our "safe space".
The date is October 21, 2023, which is a Saturday. It starts at 6:00PM and our gatherings there usually run for about three hours.
We have been able to return to a restaurant in North Seattle where we'll have our own private dining room where you can order dinner and or beverages if you desire.
This month we are meeting in the smaller dining room at the bottom of the stairs to the right.
There is street parking, good access to/from Interstate 5 and it’s on two major bus lines.
Please RSVP here or at
[email protected] and we'll provide the name and location of the restaurant.
Save the date and bring a friend, we look forward to seeing you!

Log Cabin Republicans of Washington is gonna to take a hike (some haters would love that) to Grand Park via Lake Eleanor in Mount Rainier National Park. This is a good way to socialize with other likeminded people along a semi-alpine route to beautiful and secluded Lake Eleanor and the amazing Grand Park meadow.
The WTA website says it’s an 8.7 mile hike (roundtrip) with a 1460' elevation gain reaching 5630' elevation. There are some steep areas but you do not have to grab onto rocks, trees or someone to pull yourself up. Bring shoes you can walk/hike in, walking sticks if you have them, lunch, plenty of water, maybe some bug spray and if weather requires it some waterproof attire.
PLEASE NOTE: This is located in the free cost north section of the national park and there is no state park or forest service fee in the parking area just outside the park at the trailhead.
We will meet at the trailhead on Saturday, September 30 at 10AM. If you are new to Log Cabin contact us if you are interested in ride sharing.
From Enumclaw WA, drive east on SR 410 for 25 miles. Turn right (south) onto Forest Service Road 73 crossing over Huckleberry Creek at 6 miles. After the Huckleberry Creek bridge, continue steeply up the hill on FS Road 73 for another 4 miles to the signed crossing at Eleanor Creek and park on the roadside. There is a small parking lot about 150 feet past the trailhead and additional shoulder parking beyond the lot. (Note that the Forest Service has revised the road numbering and some guidebooks and GPS systems may still identify the last mile before Eleanor Creek as FR 7360.)
There are some rough spots on Forest Service Road 73 but its accessible for high and low clearance vehicles.
Look for the gray SUV with the American Flag on the antenna.
