Shore Club Tapas Event: A Cosmic Culinary Adventure

The Shore Club's recent Tasty Tapas Float About was a spectacular success, drawing a diverse and colorful crowd to Angle Lake. From Bathing Beauties to Vikings, aliens to French Nationals, with a splash of Nauti Sailors, the event was a melting pot of cultures and costumes.

Guests were treated to a culinary journey through four themed appetizer stations before culminating in a decadent dessert spread. The vibrant atmosphere, coupled with the delicious food and unique company, made for a truly unforgettable evening.

I could use a thousand words to describe this incredibly popular event - however, I'll let the pictures do all the talking! View the event photos HERE.

Why should you care?

The way we get around our city impacts everyone. This survey is your chance to weigh in on what kind of transportation options you want to see in SeaTac. Whether you prioritize safety for pedestrians, reliable public transportation, or efficient car travel, your voice matters!

The survey is quick and easy to take – it only takes about 5 minutes! It's available in multiple languages, including English, Amharic, Somali, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

Here's how to take the survey:
