Special walk: Murals in Downtown Bellingham 
August 11, 2023 Friday
9:30 – 12:00ish

Meet at the bench under the Acid Ball at Wayside Park.  We will proceed toward the Morse Condos to view the  mural on Laurel and then work our way through downtown viewing murals along the way to  Champion and walk to the arts district (Flora and Grand) before proceeding Prospect to view the salmon mural and to Penny Lane mural on the way back to Waypoint Park.  For those that would like to go to lunch we can get lunch before returning to the cars.

Walk will be open to 10 walkers.  Please RSVP to Elaine Cress (elainecress@gmail.com<mailto:elainecress@gmail.com>) if you’d like to go.  Elaine will let you know if you made the cut or if you are on a wait list.

Save the date for a day trip to Lummi Island for a tour of Ann Morris’s Sculpture Woods on Saturday, September 2, 2023. This tour is for first timers only (limited to 15). If you have gone in the past and want to go again, a wait list will be available.

We will ride the Lummi Island Ferry as foot passengers and walk approximately 1 mile from the Ferry dock to Ann Morris’s famous “Sculpture Woods” featuring 16 large scale bronze sculptures and a small gallery in a beautiful wooded setting (https://sculpturewoods.wwu.edu/).  Martie Lopez, fellow walker and docent, will lead a tour of the collection that will last about an hour. After completing our sculpture visit we can all enjoy sack lunches at a lovely site with benches overlooking the water or elsewhere on the grounds.  Ferries depart from the island on the hour.

Watch for an email with more details about the outing as well as instructions on how to sign up.
