FEB 10th - AIGA SCHMOOZE ON THE EASTSIDE: Stop by and make connections with other Eastside designers (of all kinds) at our casual get-togethers. We’ll swap ideas, vent about impossible deadlines, share inspiration, and have a laugh. This time we’ll meet at Lot N° 3 in Bellevue Towers. Enjoy their great happy hour eats, espresso, or something stronger to drink — with people who get what design is about.
No reservation needed, no cover charge; cash bar. You don’t need to be a member of AIGA. And all ages are welcome. Just stop by and say hi! Parking (free 4-hr validation) in the Bellevue Towers Parking garage. Key Bank surface lot on 4th St. also available after 5 p.m.
