DIRECTIONS to CHECK-IN:
The route to check-in may be impacted by a City of Tumwater road construction project at Capitol Boulevard and Trosper Road. Consider taking Exit 101 to avoid traffic congestion around the Trosper Road interchange.
• From I-5, take Exit 101 (Tumwater Boulevard): Head east on Tumwater Boulevard; travel .4 miles and turn left on Linderson Way; follow signs to Check-In.
CHECK-IN:
All entries must stop at the check-in station on Linderson Way between Israel Road and Dennis Street. There you’ll receive your parade entry number and instructions. Any vehicle entering the check-in area to drop off participants must exit on Israel Road.
Tree Spies
We need volunteers to do a 24-7 watch of the Davis Meeker oak. This is a vulnerable time for the tree because it is the center of such attention. Both good and bad people are out there. One doesn't know what bad people might do.
