Calling All Seattle Modern Quilt Guild members,

community quilt enthusiasts and friends/family!

WHO: Invite your friends, family, and dear ones (yes this can include the pets!) to mingle with other SeaMQG quilty folx for a summer social and admiring of quilts!  Everyone, including community members, welcome!

​WHAT: Bring a quilt (or a few!) to be admired. As this is an outdoor event, please provide your own tarp/ground cover for your quilt(s). If you have extras, bring them incase they're needed. Quilt stands tend to topple in the breeze. 

FOOD: The grill fires up around 11- 11:30 am and goes until the food runs out. We'll be serving up basic picnic food, think hot dogs and chips. Please bring a dessert or picnic themed side to contribute to the snacks!​ Kindly label allergens if a homemade dish. 

You're on your own for beverages (bring your water bottle for water).

 OUTDOOR VENUE: Please anticipate all the usual outdoor variables: uneven ground, sun, wind, people, pets and general park activity. Public restrooms are nearby, and we may even have curious community members wander over (which we love!).

A short, level or paved walk from parking to the picnic area is expected. We select locations with as much ADA access as a public park can offer, but if walking distance is a concern, consider street parking which maybe close than the parking lot if available). We are unable to reserve parking spaces.

 PARKING/TRANSPORTATION: (from 2026) 

It's a short walk to the PICNIC SHELTER #5 at the north end of the park, towards the wading pool/sport field from the north parking lot.  [MAP HERE] We have the covered shelter reserved as well as many uncovered picnic tables. There are restrooms nearby.

There are two parking lots a north lot (much closer to where we are at) and a south lot. The south lot is much closer to the ferry.

Street parking- only on the east side of the street. Street parking on the side closest to the park will not be available until after 3 pm. Spots by the 76 gas station are very nearby. 

Easy bus access as the C line stops right near the park.
