What to bring: Bring friends, family and guests. Bring any side dishes, appetizers or desserts you would like to share. Bring $5 cash if you would like to rent a cup for an adult beverage (provided by our hosts).
The National Federation of the Blind Greater Seattle Chapter is looking forward to hosting its members and guests in a summer picnic full of fun, socializing, and friendship. The chapter will be providing the meat for the BBQ, condiments, and non-alcoholic beverages. We encourage everyone to come for a free night of fun and connection.
Directions to Noel Nightingale and Jim Peterson’s home in the Mt. Baker Park neighborhood of Seattle.
Address: 3800 S. Ferris Place, Seattle, 98144
Taking the bus: Take the Route 14 bus southbound. (The 14 bus starts out as a Route 1 bus from lower Queen Ann and turns into a 14 as it travels downtown.) The Route 14 travels along Third Avenue downtown, turns left onto S. Jackson Street, turns right onto 31st Avenue S, and eventually turns right onto S. McClellan Street, where it goes to the Mt. Baker transit center and stops for a few minutes. Don’t get off at the transit center even though that feels like the last stop. From the transit center, the Route 14 bus turns right and travels up a hill into the Mt. Baker Park neighborhood. Get off at the last stop, which is the Hanford Street stop (right after a big turn which you will notice). Turn left getting off the bus, walk down to the corner, and cross the street, which is S. Ferris Place. You will be facing Jim and Noel’s home at that point. Turn right and a few feet on the left is the stairs going up into their yard.
