About this event

Join us for the Spring Kick-off tour on Saturday, April 18th 

Registration opens on April 1st at Noon.  Register early by clicking the "Register Here" box to avoid being placed on the waiting list or not being able to register if the tour sells out early! 
 

Join us for what has become an annual event over the past several years—the  More Smiles to the Mile (MSTTM) tour or as we're calling it again this year, the Spring Kickoff Tour!!  Everyone has always enjoyed this tour and this year, we’re again going to explore a few new roads along with some of the old standards that make this tour “more smiles to the mile”.  This year, the starting point is going changing to Best Buy/Fred Meyer in Issaquah and hopefully, the parking lot will be less full than across from Krispy Kreme.  The rest stop is in Duvall and NOT in Snohomish on this tour (subject to change).  From there we also take a different route for this tour, but will end up in Monroe at Tuscano’s Italian Kitchen where you can order off a special menu they prepared for us. This is one of the few places able to handle larger numbers of people so we won’t be scattered over three or four smaller restaurants. Think social event!!  Hope you can join us.  This tour will fill up fast if past years are any indication!
 

We will probably end up using two cells of cars, so indicate whether you prefer early or later cell (note that there is only a 30-40 min difference in the show times)
