  5. April 2017 NEAR EVENTS • Stanwood swapfest on 5/13 • Federal Way Digital workshop on 5/13. • Nelson says: I had kinda planned to attend Stanwood, assuming others were interested in a van pool. But I’ve also been asked to do the WSPR presentation at the FW workshop. I told them I MIGHT, depending on interest in Stanwood, etc. So perhaps you can see who’d be interested with serious intent in the swapfest, to help me decide and remind those interested that we have to plan (only mildly) for it.
