| Shredder   | Help needed to continue skills days In short we need a new parking lot. We have been using the Aquasox lot for years with their permission, but it turns out that they only lease it from the school district. We spoke to the school district about using the lot but it would cost a load of money that we would then have to charge participants. We like that these are free, so in the interest of keeping them that way I'm asking for suggestions for new parking lots in the Everett or Lynnwood areas. They must be large, paved, and clean. |

| Shredder | Generally speaking we can't use retail lots even when the stores are closed. They normally require event insurance which means we would have to charge riders to recoup that money. |

| Shredder  Joined: Jul 2009 From: Anywhere I can get to on my bike I Ride: 2000 GSX-R 750 | What about the overflow parking lot ad either Edmonds Comm. Coll. or Everett Comm. Coll?? Also there is a HUGE open parking lot on Broadway in north Everett, right across from the new "Nursing Sciences" building being built. It's a huge lot, and is almost always empty. Would either of those ideas work? |

| Permit  Joined: Jun 2012 From: Lake Forest Park I Ride: how my grandma taught me | What about a church parking lot? I unfortunately don't have one in particular to recommend, as I'm banned from all Catholic, Protestant, and Lutheran churches in the country... Don't ask.  Seems like it would be worth a shot at the very least. |

| Shredder | These are all very helpful. Thanks a ton. We've been running them on Sunday mornings, which pretty much rules out churches. I think I may lobby to change that, though. It seems like churches would be the most likely to go along with our plans. Schools will likely have more stringent organizational requirements than we're looking to fulfill, but I'll send someone out to check them out just in case. As for WMST, we need to look that guy up again. I missed a few skills days this year, but to the best of my knowledge he didn't drop by. I was really looking forward to tooling around on his 250 racebike. |

| Training Wheels Joined: Jul 2011 From: Everett, Wa I Ride: Big Bird | I checked out my previous post area (99 between 168th and 172nd) unfortunately it won't work any longer. However I did go past a lot that looked interesting, on 40th just north of 196th st in Lynnwood. Maybe someone else here may know more about it? |

| Peg Dragger  Joined: Jan 2010 From: Everett, WA I Ride: '67 CT90 | There's some industrial lots near Boeing, by the Campbells soup place. I know one of them let stunters use it anytime they want outside of business hours, I'd have to sit down and look at a map to find it for ya but it's a pretty good size. Let me know if you want me to get the info for ya. |
