Grand Opening
Friday, June 21 :: 7-9pm
A new Spaceworks Tacoma Creative Enterprise is about to open its doors! The shop
 owners Taylor Woodruff & Robert Boyle invite you to the grand opening of Grit City
GrindHouse [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=ynufdgnab.0.eho8l5mab.5flbzdfab.0&ts=S0911&r=3&p=http%3A%2F%2Fgritcitygrindhouse.com%2F]
on Friday June 21st. There will be music, pizza and the winners of the Sk8venger
 Hunt will be announced. I bet you are wondering what's the Sk8venger Hunt?
Grit City Grindhouse is partnering with Go Skate Tacoma to host the Go Skate Tacoma
Sk8venger Hunt. Riders will assemble into teams of 2 to 5 people and be sent out
 on a mission throughout Tacoma. Teams will be given the clues at the GrindHouse
 between 10am-noon. The earlier you get there, the more bonus clues will be spilled
and you may just get a possibility of a head start! Teams will have until 5pm to
 get back to the shop with as many pictures of the solutions to the clues they found.
Some great spots are lined up for clues along with some rad prizes. Get a team together,
scrounge up five bucks between ya'll, and come enjoy a day of raditude with Tacoma's
finest!

"Spaceworks Tacoma represents a solid partnership opportunity for property owners
and the arts community. Vacant spaces can create negative perceptions and do little
to encourage leasing. In times like these, it is important for the City and property
owners to work cooperatively and make Tacoma a better place to live, play, and do
business."
Mayor Marilyn Strickland

Special thanks
to the property owners who are currently providing space for our projects: Bristol
Equities, A Street Associates LLC, Seven Seventeen Investors LLC, UWTacoma and AT&T.

 to nurture successful projects that transform Tacoma into a stronger, more active
city.
