Halloween Costume Paddle on the Fremont Cut w/Potluck at Gasworks

Pancake Paddle Special Edition -- Halloween Costume Paddle on the Fremont Cut w/Potluck at Gasworks, Saturday Oct. 31st at 11AM.

Here's the plan. Costume yourself and/or your kayak, paddle board, canoe, and meet us at the 6th Ave W Public Shoreline Street End at 6th Ave. W and W. Ewing street, Saturday Oct. 31st, 11AM. Plenty of free parking. Easy kayak put in. Bring along some treats, maybe hot cider or even some pumpkin pie, or whatever else is paddle potluck-able. We will paddle east on the cut to the delight of the many pedestrians strolling there. We will give the onlookers at Gasworks Park a good look at us as we paddle by. Then we will put ashore on the SE corner of Gasworks Park to consume our comestibles. Children are welcome--parents or guardians are responsible for all aspects of their child's on-the-water safety.

If you plan on renting your paddle craft, the easiest rental option is the Northwest Outdoors Center located on the dock at Westlake & Crocket. More info on NWOC hourly rentals at https://www.nwoc.com/rental. If you are renting from the NWOC you will need to start a half hour earlier, and paddle west on the Fremont Cut to meet up with us at the 6th Ave. W. street end. Alternatively, you can start out from the NWOC at 11AM and paddle to the Fremont Bridge then just wait for us there to paddle down the cut and join up with us for the rest of the paddle and potluck at Gasworks Park. You can't miss us.

This paddle is weather, warlock and witch dependent.

See you then!

ABOUT THE LAKE UNION PANCAKE PADDLE

Eat Swedish pancakes. Then paddle. Beginners are most welcome. If you don't own a kayak, SUP or canoe, they can be rented by the hour at the dock we launch from. This group is open to all paddle craft (kayaks, SUPs, canoes, inflatables, dragon boats, etc.) and gathers regularly on the first Sunday of every month in the lobby of the Swedish Club which is open to the public for their monthly Swedish pancake breakfasts. We enjoy the ten million dollar view and have a Swedish pancake breakfast together to the accompaniment of live Scandinavian folk music. Then we take the short walk down to the dock and leisurely paddle for an hour or so on the placid urban waters of Lake Union, the most unique lake in the world--home to Academy award winning movie shoots, famous art studios, amazing houseboats, float plane airports, historic vessels & sunken battleships, storied Olympic champions, Native American history, magnificent cityscapes, stupendous infrastructure, a surprising amount of wildlife and the birthplace of the Boeing Airplane Co.

We also do "Special Edition" paddles on the lakes and rivers of Western & Central Washington and on Puget's Sound, the Pacific Coast and the San Juans. Special Edition paddles often have no onsite rental availability.
