Thanks to Regan for this wonderful idea!
In case anyone needs it, my cell number is [masked]. I can receive SMS texts and calls, so if you need to get ahold of me if you are running late or whatever, you can.
The gloomy pre-spring weather should be great for this cemetery shoot. Rain or shine, I think. You can always bring an umbrella. We'll meet at "our" Starbucks (from our first Meetup) where it's dry and warm to discuss tips and pointers for cemetery and gravestone shots, and then travel a few miles away to the cemetery.
I'll try to check it out ahead of time to scope out some good places to shoot at the actual cemetery.
Mt. Olivet Cemetery has refused us access, and so we’ll need a different cemetery. I have permission for the Saars Pioneer Cemetery (91st and S. 212 Way (enter on 212th), Kent) for Saturday, but so far I haven’t had time to research any others. At this point we can plan to visit Saars. Someone mentioned the Jimi Hendrix memorial at Greenwood (350 Monroe Avenue Ne Renton.) I’d love to still meet at Starbucks in the Highlands and then stop by Greenwood at the Jimi Hendrix memorial, and then go to Saars. We can carpool if anyone has a desire to. If someone else has a better idea, bring it on. Otherwise we’ll try out the Saars Pioneer Memorial.

If anybody wants to carpool get a hold of me. I live in Belltown. I am new to the area and when I googled mapped the Starbucks in the Highlands I got several results. I could use some directions to the meeting place. 208.484.0814

this must be the correct address
Because of the snow, I think it would be a better idea to just check out the Greenwood Cemetery (since it's closer). Any thoughts?
I felt a little out of my league with my lack of photography knowledge, but thanks to Justin and a couple of others, I even dared to take a couple of pictures. Great fun, and great group of people, even if it was a bit brisk out. Looking forward to the meet and greet.

Alecia, any news yet on which cemetery we'll be visiting? Have you heard back from Mt Olivet?
