Where would everyone like to have Seattle Wiknic this year? The scheduled date is June 22.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic
Wiknics have happened at Golden Gardens and Gasworks Park in the past. This year I would like to propose that we meet at the Arboretum, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Park_Arboretum, with an exact location in the Arboretum to be determined. It is possible to rent the Visitors Center and if the cost is reasonable we could ask to rent part of the center for the afternoon, which would also provide us some cover in the event of rain and give us enough room to have laptops etc available for us to do outreach. We could ask for a small grant from WMF to cover the costs.
What does everyone think?

This date coincides with the Fremont Soltice Festival and Honk! Fest West which I was planning on attending and have guests coming into town for. As a result, I'm not sure I could come. Of course, every day will conflict with something so this isn't a reason not to do it then. June 22nd sounds like a pretty good day. :)
The conflict with the Soltice Festival probably *is* a reason to avoid Gasworks though. The Arboretum sounds lovely.

We could chose a different date. It turns out that June 22 is a Sunday this year, and we could easily meet on Saturday June 21 or Saturday June 28.

Hello,
June is LGBT pride month and the month is becoming claimed for those events. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Pride_2014
July is national picnic month so I proposed that the Wiknic target date be moved to Sunday July 6. I posted about this on the talk page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Wiknic
Pine, are Sundays a problem? They have been on Sundays in the past.
yours,
