JRK Washington Highlights COVID-19 Compliant Events In Tacoma Washington
Industry: Real Estate
Tacoma, Washington (PRUnderground) September 11th, 2020
The local event scene in Tacoma, WA is one of the many bright spots of living in Boulders at Puget Sound. But with the current pandemic, some of them had to be postponed or canceled. Don’t fret, though—many have been modified for this new normal era, allowing people to enjoy them without worrying about their well-being.
JRK Washington, the luxury apartment’s developer, says that, like everybody else, many of their residents have been eager to go outdoors. That said, most also understand the risks involved, so they choose to participate in virtual or modified public events instead. JRK says: “It’s true that necessity is the mother of invention. Given the shelter-in-place orders, organizers were quick to adapt the format of their events for the current circumstances. Our residents eagerly look forward to experiencing them despite the changes.”
Fall events for Boulders at Puget Sound residents
There’s never a shortage of fun things to experience in Tacoma, WA, which remains true even today.

Beyond the Backyard: A New Habitat Challenge September 26th
Part scavenger hunt, part dare: Beyond the Backyard is an interactive fundraising event designed specifically for the new normal.

All the challenges can be done separately by participating teams in their backyard or neighborhood, following all the state’s COVID-19 safety guidelines. The challenges are delivered via the event app, and people send in a photo to prove they’ve completed the tasks. It’s ideal for all ages and all ability levels.
Caffeine and Gasoline: Race Cars
Griot’s Garage, 3333 South 38th St, Tacoma, WA. September 26th
Griot’s Garage holds themed car exhibits on the first Saturday of each month, and for October, it’s putting the spotlight on a particular type of vehicle: the race car. As the event name suggests, Coffee and Gasoline starts early, expect free freshly brewed coffee and fresh-off-the-oven donuts to get started. This is one of the rare events to find supercars, street rods, tuner cars, and racing machines all on the same lot. Note though that standard safety protocols will be implemented during the event, such as wearing masks and observing proper social distancing.
