Event Report

Our annual NDEW Steilacoom event grows every year, which indicates growth in EV ownership and interest. Having the 4 hour event in our small historic town with all it's amenities helps draw visitors. Some attendees just happened to be visiting the town. Support from the Town of Steilacoom and the local Chamber of Commerce was outstanding. Vehicle numbers this year was 80 which beats the last 3 years numbers of 19, 25 and 40. The Pierce County Transit Protera EcoRide BE 35 all electric bus presence and the hourly bus ride around town was an extra special winner! Weather was perfect (mostly overcast in high 60s!). We have pictures and comments being posted at our Facebook site. Feel free to join our group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/PierceCountyElectricVehicle/ We had ten elected officials attend. Plan is to continue to grow NDEW Steilacoom number 5 in 2018 with some minor modifications and lessons learned.
