Sunday Evening Welcome Reception at Chihuly Garden & Glass

Chihuly Garden & Glass is a modern exhibition that houses the most comprehensive presentation of artwork by celebrated Northwest glass artist Dale Chihuly. Located at the foot of the Space Needle, this is the place to view Chihuly’s signature glass chandeliers, towers, and myriad collections, as the building was designed to frame each dramatic sculpture.

The 43-foot tall Glass House encompasses 4,500 square feet and was architecturally inspired by Paris’s Sainte-Chapelle and London’s Crystal Palace. Outside, a vibrant garden of greens is peppered with custom-built glass installations of purple, orange, red, and more.

During the event, guests can wander next door to ascend the Space Needle and take in the 360-degree views.

ATTIRE: suggestions for him – seasonal sport coat or blazer in colour of choice with slacks, open-collared shirt; and for her – cocktail dress or nice pants outfit. No formal gowns, ties or black ties required.

Farewell Dinner at Kiana Lodge

Escape to the private, rustic and elegant setting of Kiana Lodge for a true taste of the Northwest. The six-acre site is surrounded by fragrant cedars, majestic firs and more than 30 varieties of rhododendrons, Washington State’s flower. The manicured grounds are ablaze with spectacular color from early spring to late fall. Located on Agate Passage, across from Bainbridge Island, Kiana Lodge also features a spectacular waterfront view of the Puget Sound.

Kiana means “Garden of the Gods” in the Suquamish Native American language. Beginning with the Suquamish descendants of Chief Sealth (for whom Seattle was named), Kiana Lodge has been entertaining guests with traditional alder-roasted salmon meals for over 200 years. Kiana’s beaches are still carpeted with white clam shells left by generations of Native Americans who inhabited the original Suquamish Village, located two miles north. Kiana Lodge is the perfect destination for a memorable Northwest evening.

ATTIRE: Business Casual. Note that part of the event will take place outdoors, weather permitting.
