Hey there, paid supporter! Just a quick reminder Cascadia Journal is tentatively planning to host a meet-up in Seattle at Stoup Brewing on Capitol Hill this Wednesday, November 12 at 7 pm. It's my way to say thank you and get to meet some my most dedicated readers.

I haven't received any RSVPs yet (email andyengelson@pm.me or click here if you're interested in joining us), so if we do end up cancelling I'll let you all know by Tuesday. And we'll work on scheduling other meetups in Seattle, Portland and Vancouver soon.

Thanks for supporting Cascadia Journal! Just a reminder, your paid membership also allows you comment on any of my posts, so if you feel strongly about something you read here, make yourself heard!

Best,

Andrew Engelson
