About this event
Join us for the “Tacoma Rounds” tour - the fourth "winter" tour. Designed for Members who drive your Porsches year 'round! This tour will feature great food, interesting activities, and scenic small-road driving. We'll start in Issaquah will plenty of available parking, breakfast, coffee, and Top Pot doughnuts. Come early and enjoy! We’ll get rural quickly south and east of Issaquah on the closest paved roads you can take along the Cascade foothills. Our route has an abundance of skinny roads, rushing rivers, farmlands, and quiet rural neighborhoods – all wonderful NW winter scenery. Included is a wonderful state park that you may never have visited! We’ll wind our south towards Eatonville then wind our way back north finding hidden gems of fun roads. Destination is Saltwater Park and then Des Moines for a late lunch. We’ll be reprising our visits to Wally’s Chowders with additional choices as well! A great winter tour with fun roads and great views as our February 2022 PNWR tour event! Prefer not to drive your Porsche? That's OK for these winter tours!
We may be short on leads and sweeps for this tour so we are setting a 48 car limit to begin with. That means four groups of 12 cars each with potentially no option to expand the number. Sorry, but that's where we are for this tour.
There are four options for lunch in Des Moines. There is no need to select a restaurant in advance, but you can review each at the links below. Note that they all offer takeout service if you prefer not to eat indoors due to Covid concerns. Restaurant activities are not part of the PNWR tour.
