News and notes for this week

Several items of news and note for this week:


  • The Esplanade Book Club is coming back!
    If you enjoy reading, talking, eating and a beverage or two, you're invited to join in re-creating the book club here at the Esplanade. If you are interested, please contact Sara Elward at selward@hevanet.com. Or, come to the first gathering in the Community Room on Tuesday, June 18, at 6:30 pm for an organizational meeting and selection of some initial books to read. 


  • Two upcoming opportunities for cleaning up and de-cluttering:
    • Esplanade litter patrol
      The "Esplanade Neighborhood Litter Patrol" will meet Saturday, June 15, to clean up the area directly across Dock Street from our building (between the railroad tracks and Hood Street), as well as the A Street sidewalk leading up to the locomotive sculpture. Meet on Hood Street at 9 a.m. For more information, contact Lynn at lynnrdutton@aol.com.
    • Free trash disposal at the Tacoma Dome
      Here's a great opportunity to clean out those communal storage closets on your floor! A free community cleanup day will be offered on Saturday, June 22. Residents may bring unwanted items to the Tacoma Dome parking lot for free disposal, from 9 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. Almost all items will be accepted, including tires, old furniture, mattresses, doors, etc. A mobile paper shredder will also be on hand.

  • Ladies who lunch - Wednesday, June 26th
    Wednesday, June 26, is the next meeting of "Ladies Who Lunch," an event for residents who would like to socialize and share a mid-week lunch. Meet at the Olive Branch Cafe at 11:30 a.m., or in the Esplanade lobby at 11:00 a.m. to carpool.

  • Emergency systems inspection is Wednesday, July 10
    On Wednesday, July 10, Smith Fire will perform their annual fire inspection between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The inspectors will need access to every unit. There will be bells and whistles sounded during this time. For residents who won't be in the building, management will need a key or access code for your unit. For those who have moved in after July 2018, please check with Karen DeGraw to see if she has a key to your unit. 
    If a unit is inaccessible, re-inspection fees of $200 have been charged in the past.


  • Summer concert series on the esplanade!
    Despite the cloudy weather, the first summer concert on May 19 was well-attended, and larger crowds are expected at upcoming events. In addition to music, there are dozens of vendors, activities for kids, etc. Click on the image below for more information regarding the summer concert series. Note that on June 16, the main act will be the Esplanade's own Tara Tinsley!
