      <title>2026 North Olympic Peninsula Fall Foliage Tour - CANCELLED (17 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h1 class="promo" style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Come Enjoy the fall colors as you drive the olympics&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Due to an early fall color change, this year's event will be cancelled due to the lack of color by the time this event was scheduled.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:0px !important;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.teslaownerswa.org/resources/Pictures/Hurricane%20Ridge%20Prairie.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="311" height="233"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="https://www.teslaownerswa.org/resources/Pictures/grannys-cafe-port-angeles-wa.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="235" height="235"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="https://www.teslaownerswa.org/resources/Pictures/Lake-Crescent-Sunrise-WA-USA-3441288076.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="549" height="364"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.teslaownerswa.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_6265.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Please join us on October 17th, 2026 and enjoy the breathtaking drive with a view of the changing fall colors on the North Olympic Peninsula.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;We will begin with a meetup up at the Superchargers at the Holiday Inn Express in Sequim (located at 1441 E Washington Street) at 11:00 am. &amp;nbsp;We will depart no later than 11:15am. &amp;nbsp;Please call if you feel you will be late. (There is Black Bear Diner next door if you are hungry before the journey). &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;From here we’ll determine which route is the best one to take. &amp;nbsp;If the weather is clear, we’ll likely start our drive up to Hurricane Ridge Trail Head, there is and easy hike on a paved trail, with an amazing view.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;If the weather is bad, we’ll probably opt to go directly to Crescent Lake. &amp;nbsp;Either way, you’re in for some beautiful sights. &amp;nbsp;Make sure to bring your camera. &amp;nbsp; With either route, we’ll be stopping by Granny’s Cafe, an iconic local eatery near Crescent Lake with amazing pies and desserts. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;There is no registration cost to participate in this event, however there is an $30.00 entry fee to enter Olympic National Park (at the time of this posting).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Join us for the drive and/or Granny’s&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Stay for the weekend or come for the day!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
  Any expenses incurred are the responsibility of the individual.

&lt;p&gt;You can record the live event but &lt;strong&gt;DO NOT&lt;/strong&gt; post it publicly anywhere until after the worldwide final cut video is posted to the public by Simon Pollock of &lt;a href="http://XLightShows.io" target="_blank"&gt;XLightShows.io&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We will try to accommodate cars that arrive after 4:30 pm because we need time to get all the cars setup to for the scheduled Lightshow at 5:00pm. Please arrive on time or you might miss out. Times may change depending on how many cars participating.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>UW Research Survey: EV Wildfire Evacuation Experience (15 Dec 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, system-ui, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UW Research Survey: EV Wildfire Evacuation Experience&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, system-ui, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;Students&amp;nbsp;at the University of Washington are performs a survey about how driving an battery electric vehicle is effected by wildfires and ability to evacuate. Following is the information from the students abou the survey.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, system-ui, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;As wildfire season draws to a close across the Pacific Northwest, our hearts go out to the neighbors, families, and communities who have endured the stress of evacuations, hazardous smoke, and the disruption of daily life. The safety and well-being of our community are at the center of everything we do.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, system-ui, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;These events highlighted an urgent planning challenge: the operational viability of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) when power shutoffs, sudden corridor closures, and charging infrastructure failures intersect. To help protect our communities in future emergencies, researchers at the University of Washington are conducting a formal study on EV user behavior, charging decisions, and routing dynamics during recent wildfire events.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, system-ui, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you eligible?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
We are exclusively seeking input from Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) drivers who are primary or seasonal residents in the following Washington counties: Asotin, Grant, Benton, Spokane, Stevens, Douglas, Lincoln, Ferry, Skamania, Yakima, Kittitas, Okanogan, Chelan, or Klickitat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, system-ui, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note: If you already filled out this survey during our first round, thank you! Please do not submit another response. To maintain the scientific integrity of the study, our system automatically flags and removes duplicate entries.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
