What should you bring?
You should bring food and beverages as you like. Wear clothing as the weather dictates including umbrellas. Picket signs, leaflets, handouts or cards that will explain our concerns and demands of our elected officials, TASTEFULLY! Be sure to carry proper ID as state law requires.
Parking?
I suggest using the Puyallup Library's lot or any street side spot that is close by. If you must park in a time limit location, remember that if you plan to move your car that it must be in the next block or 3-500 feet from last spot. And watch your time. We don't want to ruin this opportunity by getting a parking ticket.
