Join this friendly group for our fourth meet-up at Willis Tucker Off-leash Dog Park in Mill Creek/Snohomish area. We’ll meet-up in the small/shy dog area around 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, December 6th, and then explore the park.

About Willis Tucker OLA: Located on the Seattle plateau, Willis Tucker off-leash dog park was the first in Snohomish county. The 11-acre off leash area includes a half-acre off-leash area for small and shy dogs, trees and trails, gravel walking paths, a wetland stream, level strips, and some steep ravines. The off-leash area is part of the 84-acre park adjacent to the residential communities of Silver Firs and Snohomish Cascade, three miles east of Mill Creek.

Location: Willis Tucker off-leash dog park is located at 6705 Puget Park Drive, Snohomish, WA 98296.

Driving Directions: From I-5, take the 128th Street exit and drive east approximately four miles to Snohomish-Cascade Drive. (128th Street becomes 132nd and then 134th as you drive east.) Turn right onto Snohomish-Cascade Drive. At the first stop sign, turn left onto Puget Park Drive. Park entrance is the next left.

Please join us at Spawz to watch the Iggies run and play together in celebration of the holiday season

Please use street parking, as the parking next to the venue is reserved for the restaurant.

If you haven't done so already, bring copy of proof of rabies vaccination with our name and your dogs name so Ann Marie can file it and you won't have to prove vaccination status each time. She is willing to consider exceptions for older dogs with a history of vaccinations and has exempted Logan who has autoimmune disease from the requirement. If you have any concerns about this requirement, please e-mail me, Alice, and I'll see what we can work out.

There is a fee of $3.00 per dog payable to Spawz Dog.

Weather permitting, and if your dog is OK with this situation, meet up as the Mini Italian Mafia visits Marymoor Park. This is a huge, well-maintained, and not-that-highly-used 40-acre park that is a great walk.

PLEASE NOTE: Marymoor is not for every IG. My dogs were on leash for quite awhile before I trusted them here. The park is not fully fenced as the entrance is open and this is a huge park. Once you get to the center, where we will meet, it is less likely an IG will run out of the park--but if you have an escape artist we'd recommend a leash. Also, this is NOT a small-dogs-only area--there WILL be big dogs. There are always risks in such a situation so please protect your IG first! For those who are not sure about their IGs, keeping them on lead the first few times is highly recommended. I sure did! Letta is still allowed ONLY on leash.

All those caveats aside, we hope you can meet us to enjoy a great run. The official Meetup will begin at the circular area at the center of the park at about 11:45 a.m. and we usually hang out there for awhile to be sure everyone has joined us. Then we walk the trails and fields. Good directions to the park can be found at http://www.kingcounty.gov/recreation/parks/inventory/marymoor.aspx
