500 hurricane evacuees headed for Tumwater
By Jennifer Latson

The Olympian

Washington will get as many as 500 evacuees from the hurricane-torn south, state emergency management officials announced this morning.


Officials are expecting four planes full of evacuees to land at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in the coming months; the first probably will arrive sometime next week.

When they arrive, they will be bused to Tumwater, where emergency workers are preparing a headquarters for getting evacuees basic assistance and connecting them to long-term housing, employment, and other resources.

So far, two hotels along Tumwater Boulevard have offered 125 rooms for the first wave of evacuees. (That is about 2 miles from my house.)  Officials hope to get the displaced southerners homes for six months or longer in Thurston, King, Pierce and Snohomish counties while they recover from the effects of Hurricane Katrina.

Original Story here.

The first evacuees are tenatively scheduled to arrive 09/14.

Good to know you don't have unregistered pets, the thought of a pussy-cat without a license could spell anarchy.

I think they would go quite nice with a Thi-Peanut sauce, or maybe BBQ w/ pineapple glaze.

I'm a member of The Capitol City Club.  I took a look a both clubs and they have better facilities for rifle and pistol shooting.
ETA:  Capitol is also a CMP afiliated club.  When I last checked, Evergreen was not.

For social events, Evergreen's clubhouse is hard to beat however.
