Activities for 2026: DYE DAY! This year’s picnic is a weavers’ potluck lunch with a workshop on fabric reactive dying. Dyes, etc will be provided; participants should bring their own fibers. Dyes are optimal for cellulose based (plant based) materials (e.g. yarns, cloth). Participants should expect to bring containers and any protective clothing. Setup will commence at 8:30; those helping (early arrivers) will have preferred dye locations.

Food: Potluck Lunch - bring something to share. Plan to have enough water for a summer day out—the picnic shelter has no water.

Parking: Parking spaces are available along the outer sides of Parking Lot E1 and E2 and the roads leading in and out of the parking area, please note these parking lots are primarily for vehicles towing boat trailers.

ALSO NOTE:

• It is recommended to bring a folding chair, there isn’t enough seating for the entire group to sit at the tables under the shelter.

• It can be a bit chilly so close to Lake Washington.

• The toilets are port-a-potty facilities a short walk away near the boat launch.
