Venue

Middle Point Torpedo Storage House - Manchester State Park

7767 E Hilldale Rd, Port Orchard, WA 98366


this is a state park, parking here requires a Discovery Pass. a day pass can be purchased for $10 at the front gate -or- by envelope and cash at the parking lot. if you forget, don't worry, sam will stash some 10s for you in her bouquet.


after the front gate, stay left at the fork. parking should be painless and plentiful, then walk down towards the water. here's a link to the park website if you want to get a lay of the land: https://parks.wa.gov/find-parks/state-parks/manchester-state-park

driving

if you plan to drive from seattle to the venue, this will take you ~60min and you will cross over the tacoma narrows bridge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XggxeuFDaDU


don't worry... they fixed it


there is a toll for eastbound traffic; so coming home, this will run you ~$6


ride share is a good way to get around if you're staying near downtown seattle; however, it is not an option to get to the venue. if all of this is a bit overwhelming, call us... everything is going to be alright
