This social will be a great opportunity to visit with fellow 5th LD Democrats in the Black Diamond home of one of our members. You can meet people in the flesh (instead of over Zoom) and learn more about our reorganization meeting on Jan. 18. We’ll provide the makings for a delicious smoked turkey sandwich; you can bring something to share, such as a salad, a dessert, or a drink. (In December, we canceled our holiday party due to bad weather, so this January social is replacing that event.)

Fall City Days
2023-06-10 10:00 - 17:00 | Bernard Memorial Park, 4188 Preston-Fall City Rd SE, Fall City, 98024
Two years ago, redistricting divided Fall City between the 5th LD and the 12th LD, so we’re teaming up with our 12th Dem neighbors for this one-day festival. Let’s grab this unique opportunity and talk to folks in Fall City about their elected officials and the importance of voting for Democrats. We won’t walk in the parade, but we’ll have an enthusiastic booth presence if you volunteer for a two-hour shift.

Maple Valley Days
2023-06-10 10:00 - 2023-06-11 17:00 | Lake Wilderness Park, 22500 SE 248th Pl, Maple Valley, WA, 98038, United States
Maple Valley is a key area for us as Democrats, so we’re planning to have a strong presence on both days of this festival, including the parade on Saturday morning. Let us know if you can join us at Lake Wilderness Park to walk in the parade and/or make the whole booth experience better by volunteering for a shift.

Black Diamond Miner's Day
2023-07-15 09:00 - 16:00 | Black Diamond Bakery, 32805 Railroad Ave, Black Diamond, WA, 98010
Miners Day is a one-day celebration on July 15 of Black Diamond’s roots as a coal-mining town. Let’s take advantage of this fun, small-town celebration for people to get to know us. The heart of this festival is in historic Black Diamond along Railroad Avenue near the infamous Black Diamond Bakery. Check out the festival’s Facebook page for more information about all the fun vendors, unique activities, and entertainment planned for this event.

Be a part of a strong and enthusiastic Dems presence at our booth. We’ll chat with festivalgoers and invite them to spin our new Wheel of Fortune game. It’s been very popular with kids, teens, and adults! We’re seeking three “Booth Buddies” at every timeslot during the festival. Join us using SignUp Genius!

Festival at Mt. Si
2023-08-12 08:30 - 2023-08-13 16:00 | Si View Park, 400 SE Orchard Drive, North Bend, WA, 98045, United States
North Bend is celebrating its 76th annual summer celebration — The Festival at Mt. Si! The festivities kick off with a Grand Parade on Saturday at 10:30am through the heart of North Bend.
We’re seeking volunteers to walk with us in the parade, join us for a couple hours as a “Booth Buddy,” or both! You’ll be able to chat with folks and pet their dogs. Talk with voters and invite kids, teens, and adults to spin our Wheel of Fortune game to test their political knowledge. The game was a big hit at our earlier events this summer!
Let us know if you can join us! We’re also excited for our friends in the 12th legislative district to show up for some of the volunteer slots, after North Bend and Snoqualmie were separated into different districts.
Location, parking info, etc.

Snoqualmie Days
2023-08-19 07:30 - 18:30 | Northwest Railway Museum, 38625 SE King St, Snoqualmie, WA, 98065, United States
Connecting with voters and residents around King County matters a lot, and small-town festivals such as Snoqualmie Days are plenty of fun. Volunteer firefighters first organized this celebration of the Snoqualmie Valley in 1939, upon the arrival of the town’s first fire truck.
This event comprises Saturday and Sunday, but booths are open only on Saturday (the same day as the parade).
• We’re looking for a good-sized crew to walk with us in the parade from 9:30am – noon (or whenever the parade ends).
We’ll check in at Riverview Park. The parade will start at the intersection of SE Newton Street and Railroad Avenue (Hwy 202), proceed down Railroad Avenue, and finish at King Street.
• We’re also looking for four “Booth Buddies” at every timeslot (two hours or less!) between 7:30am and 6:30pm on Saturday.
Chat with folks. Pet their dogs. Talk with voters. Invite kids, teens, and adults to spin our Wheel of Fortune, answer our question correctly, and win a prize – very popular with festivalgoers this summer! Booths are on “Vendor Row” in the heart of downtown Snoqualmie, near the Northwest Railway Museum. (See address/map below.)
Sign up here! With your help, we’ll bring Dems energy and pride with a great turnout!

Black Diamond Days
2023-09-03 10:00 - 2023-09-04 16:00 | WA
This year’s theme is “Everyone matters in Black Diamond” (event website). We’re looking for a good-sized crew to walk with us in Monday’s parade, which starts at 10a, and to join us Sunday and Monday as booth buddies:

Shift 1 (10a-noon)
Shift 2 (noon-2p)
Shift 3 (2p-4p)

Sign up here to chat with folks. Pet their dogs. Talk with voters. Invite kids, teens, and adults to spin our Wheel of Fortune, answer our question correctly, and win a prize – very popular with festivalgoers this summer! With your help, we’ll bring Dems energy and pride with a great turnout!
