W WA Mav Meet-up Feb 18th - 11am til?

[Micheal]

I've had my Mav for a month and 1000 miles. I've seen exactly 2 other Mavs in that time, and no one has even looked sideways at mine or asked about it. Made me wonder about how many Mavs are in Western WA. We've mentioned a meet-up here, but I was interested in knowing how many would attend. I went through this thread to see how many have posted. I made a list of all, 82 people have a post in this thread, plus a couple of "outsiders" from Portland and Indiana. If all wanted to attend, to take a line from Jaws, "We're gonna need a bigger boat parking lot!" I'm also curious as to how many Mav owners in WA are MTC members, what percentage of buyers even know about MTC?

Still loving mine.

I even did a quick interview of one gentleman that i met near snoqualmie and did a video. Id love to hear from peoples experience about this truck! Though were are you located?

I spent some time "Google Satellite View Stalking" Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park as a potential meet-up location for sometime in February or March. The red circle in the image below is a nice parking lot with plenty of space. The area just outside the northeast corner of the image are a few restaurants if people wanted to grab some food afterwards, etc...

There are a couple picnic shelters there, but they are first come/first serve at that time of year and not reservable. So we would have to just hope nobody is planning a rogue birthday party (or we get there early enough to claim one of the shelters if we want one). There are bathrooms that I assume are open year-round. Lots of picnic tables and garbage cans in the grassy area as well. Don't know about charcoal BBQ grills, but I would not be surprised if there are some of those as well.

I'm in Bellingham. I've seen at least 4 other Mavericks around this area excluding mine. Black, Red, Cactus grey and White.

There are a few Mav's in Tacoma but I wouldn't have any idea how many MTC members there are. I'd be up for a meet-up.

Just a bit north of picture, still in the park, is an Ivar's and a Kidd Valley, if they are still there. I used to work for Seattle Opera, and our shop was just across the street from Paccar. Went to the park for lunch often. paneubert, still want to put this together? I'll send you the list of posters if you want. If anyone else feels like plotting the locations of posters, I'll get you the list, also. Many just said WA or PNW, but many did post a city. Stretches from Vancouver to Bellingham.

Yeah, kid valley and ivar’s are still there. There is a covered area along the water immediately to the south of the two restaurants.
Another place with a large parking lot is the Renton Memorial Stadium. Open parking as it services both the stadium and the Cedar River Trail users next to the airfield.

 

[Micheal]

Yeah, send the list to me.

So I've done a bit of digging in less posted threads. Found an additional 28 Wa posters, for a total of 110 possible meet-up people. I didn't mark as to how many have a truck yet, walk aways, etc. Just any name that posted in the Western Wa related threads.

I'm in the Renton area. It would be great to see what everyone has done to his/her mav

 

[paneubert]

Ok folks. I got my Mav. So now I am more motivated to put in the work organizing a meetup sometime in the new year. Haha.

I'll put together a Google Form for people to fill out asking for some votes on best dates, etc... I'll make a post tagging all the folks that @Michael identified as being from this area.

 

[paneubert]

Ok folks. I made a Google Form. If you would like to join us for a Maverick Meetup sometime in February or very early March, please fill out this form.

I am trying to tag all the people I know about, but a bunch of the usernames are not linking. Maybe it is a setting where people can prevent others from "mentioning" them in a post. Who knows. If you don't see someone below who you know is in the area, please feel free to tag them or pass this message along.

@Inspiredtoo , I think you are in WA?

 

[Inspiredtoo]

Yes. Bought my truck at Evergreen Ford in Issaquah. I ordered 11/21 and carried over at priority 2. Got a 2,750 credit. Evergreen was a reputable dealer and it as a good transaction.
