Please Help Us Find a New Shop

Our Club owns a lot of incredible equipment and we have people willing to teach us how to use it. All we need is an inexpensive permanent home for our shop. Please contact us if you know of a business or an individual that might be able to financially assist us or physically support our Club with a space. The Club can afford a nominal monthly rent to cover electricity and water.

Preferably the Kent area, otherwise Renton or Covington
Approx. 1,000 sq ft.
Water

Secure

If you have any questions or ideas on how we can relocate and expand our shop send an email to: president@cascademineralogicalsociety.org

Many of our members may recognize Tom as a vendor from our gem show and many others. His booth is “A Point in Time.” I have given him free rein to talk about whatever he wants. He is always so interesting to stand at his show booth and listen to him talk. This meeting should be very interesting. Show ‘n Tell: A fossil of any type.
