Join experts every Thursday, February 23, March 9, and March 23 from 6 - 7:30 p.m. at the Tumwater Timberland Library.
In partnership with the Tumwater Timberland Library, the Tumwater Parks and Recreation Department is excited to present At Home in the Pacific Northwest, a brand new Community Conversation series, celebrating and examining what it means to live here in the great PNW.
No one can argue that the Pacific Northwest is an exceptional place to call home. Its beauty is unmatched, from the grand mountains to the life-giving estuaries of Puget Sound. This unique and magnificent environment has spurred a regional passion for environmental care and sustainability. This same, sometimes soggy climate also drives people out of the rain and cold and into coffee shops where they can get warm with a cup of coffee. This love for coffee has positioned the PNW as a leader in innovative coffee craft and brewing practices. Washingtonian's passion for our natural world has also fostered a resurgence of hobbies such as foraging, beekeeping, and permaculture practices which we see expanding on a national, if not global, scale.
The conversation series brings together regional experts, entrepreneurs, and practitioners for a panel discussion on regional topics of interest to those who call the Great Pacific Northwest home. At Home in the Pacific Northwest is a seasonal and limited series.
