We sure lucked out with the weather yesterday! Although it was a bit cold, the rain held off long enough for us to have a great day in the sun for our season opener. Thank you to everyone that made it out to SpringFest Seattle!
@stancewars and @importmeet are always blown away by your support of our partner events and have a couple more for you this year so watch for those soon!
We appreciate everyone’s patience as we brought them inside. The remaining snow and mud made parking under the trees where we normally have free parking not possible for this event. It was epic to bring everyone inside though so that’s something we will be exploring for future events!
Thank you to the Pacific Raceways staff, ProFormance staff, and our volunteers for helping run such a huge event with condensed roll in times. Special thank you to our sponsors and vendors for helping make the event possible.
