Event Report
Went well, lots of interest in buying electric vehicles. Attendance was down about 30% from last year for a good reason. Nearby Tacoma and Olympia now have event sponsored by two of the areas large electric utility. Having NDEW Steilacoom in early September is good because of better weather an to not compete with the Town's annual Apple Squeeze the 1st week in October. Will do it again next year the Saturday after Labor Day because it is fun and a lot of learning from everyone.Event Description
Welcome to our annual NDEW Steilacoom VI (Yes, our 6th event already)!

We will have enough parking for 130 electric vehicles which is our 2019 goal and parking in other parts of town for visitors. Event will start at 11 AM and finish at 3 PM. We will have many Electric Vehicle themed vendor booths.
There is a coffee shop (Steilacoom Coffee Cabin), two restaurants (Bair Drug and Topside) and the brand new Steilacoom Tap Room right at the site. We will invite one or more food vendors. Rides will be offered and cars will be displayed. There is one level two charger in the pay parking lot.
