Come join for a 4th of July cookout at Cedar River Trail Park! Main courses provided, but please text or email Ben Ragan if you would like to bring drinks or sides.

There will be several fireworks shows in Seattle on the fourth, one of which is at Vasa Park, about a 4 minute drive from the Embassy Suites Bellevue hotel. You may even be able to see it from your hotel room! https://www.visitissaquahwa.com/event/4th-of-july-fireworks-show-at-vasa-park/

We are offering a choose your own adventure for dinner in Issaquah! Get a group together and go into Olde Town Issaquah for dinner at your leisure. Some restaurants we suggest with lots of seating: Maharaja Cuisine of India Macky's Dim Sum Sunset Alehouse Levitate Gastropub Afterwards, take a walk along the Rainier Trail!

Come say goodbye to out of town family and friends leaving early from the hotel (breakfast served 7:30-10:30)! If we have enough people interested who aren't staying at the hotel (and therefore not getting free breakfast), we can pick up some bagels and pastries from the nearby Panera to share. There is also a Starbucks across the street.

*start and end times approximate* Come join us to hike or walk around one of Seattle's most iconic trails! We will have a carpool departing from the Embassy Suites hotel or you can meet us at the lake. There should be plenty of parking and no passes required. Walking: Walk a short paved path down to the lake. Bring a folding chair, go wading, enjoy! Hiking: The trail is 4.0 miles roundtrip, moderate difficulty, and very popular. The view at the top is well worth it!
