Last year the Pacific Northwest Council of Carpenters held an unprecedented series of rallies across the Northwest to build solidarity and strength for our contract negotiations. It worked: we stood strong and defended our wages and benefits.

But then something else happened: We talked. We listened. We became a strong union.

Let's keep it going. Come to the Carpenter's Family Picnic and see new and old union friends and their families. See how strong our union has become. Enjoy FREE food, drink and family fun.

All you have to do is to attend your family picnic to sign up. Each picnic will hold a drawing of Northwest Carpenters who are present and sign up for the contest!

Of course, the picnic is the place to be even without the free trip to Disney Land: not only will there be plenty of great food, there will be FREE fun for the whole family.

If you would like to stay for the weekend and have an RV, enjoy a free stay on us. But remember, space is limited and those who email their request and arrive early will have the best chance of getting a slot. If you have any questions about your RV and accommodations please contact: nwcarp@nwcarpenters.org

If you and your family want to stay the night but aren't bringing an RV, there are plenty of nearby campgrounds to pitch a tent. Be sure to call ahead to make a reservation! Here are our suggestions:
