Description
Join fellow WWU community members on the scenic Chuckanut Coast for a delicious private dinner cruise!
Go beyond the traditional waterfront restaurant experience with a privately chartered vessel reserved exclusively for our WWU group. Enjoy an evening filled with great food, beverages, learning, and unforgettable views, just for Western alumni, families, and friends.
We’re also excited to welcome Dr. Cindy Elliser, Associate Director of the Salish Sea Institute. Dr. Elliser is a marine mammalogist and educator based in Anacortes, WA, and she will provide a special overview of the Salish Sea, sharing insights into its marine life, ecology, and the importance of this remarkable ecosystem. It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn from an expert while surrounded by the very waters she studies.
What to look forward to:
- Italian Sausage Lasagna & Vegetable Primavera Lasagna Buffet.
- Enjoy one complimentary drink ticket for beer, wine, or non-alcoholic beverage. A full bar featuring Northwest beers, wines, and cocktails will also be available for additional purchase.
- Breathtaking views aboard the Salish Sea, with indoor seating and two levels of outdoor viewing.
Join us for an evening of community, learning, and beautiful coastal scenery!
