Do you happen to know about parking or public transit to their location?

I confirmed that Intellectual Ventures can only do a tour on week days.
They would also like to sit down for an hour and talk about Wikipedia
editing.
So is that a no on October 3-7? Or yes? What about the dates October 10-14?
Can anybody do those?

Is anyone interested in a field trip to Intellectual Ventures in Bellevue
to see their giant Tesla coil?

It uses a lot of power and they don't turn it on often, but they will put
on a show for a Wikipedia editor group. No dates proposed yet.

There are also city fees (: Depending on what all the group aspires to do,
there may be other fees as well. But I believe that the total will be
around $200, perhaps under $100 especially if Xero and the Impact HUB
membership will be discontinued. (It might be desirable to keep Xero for
continuity of records and ease of use, as well as for internal transparency
among board members.) I imagine that Brian will do a more precise budget.

Hi all,
This is a public update about Cascadia Wikimedians organization and plans.
Cascadia board members who were present at tonight's meeting expressed an
interest in keeping the Cascadia organization active and under the
governance of a local board. Peaceray believes that he will have additional
capacity for Cascadia starting in November. The tentative plan is for me to
hand off most of my Cascadia responsibilities to Peaceray in November. This
is contingent on further discussions with the board members who were not
present at tonight's meeting. In particular, it would be helpful if someone
else is willing take on the role of board secretary (the treasurer and the
secretary must be different people), and I am hopeful that one of the
members who was not present tonight will be willing to accept that role. If
all goes well I will hand off that responsibility by the end of November,
and after all handoffs are complete I plan to resign from my officer and
board roles for Cascadia. I will remain active with Wikimedia in other
capacities and am likely to continue to attend Cascadia events, but as a
participant rather than an organizer. (:
Regarding plans for future activities, we are hopeful that there will be
additional capacity for programmatic work later this year.
To keep the Cascadia organization "active" next year in the eyes of the
State of Washington, we need to continue to file paperwork and pay annual
fees. The board members who attended tonight's meeting are hopeful that
even if WMF doesn't fund these fees for next year (due to a shortage of
programmatic work) that we will be able to raise the minimum necessary
funds through a combination of dues and donations.
Thank you for your continued interest in Cascadia Wikimedians. Updates will
be provided as more information becomes available.
Regards,
Pine
Hi all,
Reminder about tomorrow's meeting at Cafe Allegro at 6pm.
On the agenda will be discussions about Cascadia Wikimedians' future. Is
there willingness and ability to continue to be an organization? Given our
modest levels of activity, does being an organization make sense? How do we
want to proceed (as an organization or not?) Let's discuss tomorrow.
Pine
Please participate here: http://doodle.com/poll/n7ntmhx2bb6zwzz8
This meeting will discuss what is going on in Cascadia Wikimedia.
In particular WikiConference North America in San Diego, CA, which starts
Friday, 10/7.
Additional topics for this meeting will likely include continuation of
discussion about our aspirations for the rest of 2016 as well as upcoming
plans for 2017.
As usual, we welcome general updates and discussion about you personal
Wikimedia initiatives.
Thanks!
Yours,
Peaceray
