Join Susan Conrad on a paddling journey through the Salish Sea
April 20 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Saturday, April 20th (Advance Tickets Required)
Join WWTA and Susan Conrad on a paddling journey through the Salish Sea.
August 2020 Susan dipped her paddle in the waters of the Nisqually Reach and spent the next 14 days meandering her way from Olympia to Lummi Island, Washington. Her journey, crafted in the ethos of the ultimate “pandemic staycation”, gave her a better understanding of this “sea between the mountains” and a bigger appreciation for the Cascadia Marine Trail system and the pivotal work WWTA does. Susan will share her stories and images in a one-hour slideshow presentation and offer tips and tricks for planning and executing the journey yourself.

About Susan:
Susan Conrad refers to herself as a “writer with a paddling problem.” ( See her books here! ) She’s been plying various bodies of water in long, skinny boats for 36 years and has penned three books about her paddling escapades. The lion’s share of her seafaring miles comes from her all-time favorite place to kayak—the Inside Passage! And since the “starting line” for the Inside Passage begins in south Puget Sound, she also loves to paddle close to home.
