Alex Wilson is in town to present the keynote address for the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild's 2011 EcoBuilding Retreat, October 21st through the 23rd. The zHome celebration is a "pre-funk" for the weekend event. http://www.ecobuilding.org/green-building/guild-retreat

The celebration and tours of zHome, the highest scoring Built Green project ever and the first Salmon Safe certified project in partnership with Built Green, begin at 4 pm – you can travel by bus, by bicycle, or by carpool; but no matter how you get there, don't travel alone – there's safety in numbers and carbon offsets. Rain or shine, we'll have tents up in the courtyard in case of inclement weather or severe climate change.

• Salmon Safe wine and refreshments will be served.
• DJ zBrad Liljequist will spin LP's on site.

DIRECTIONS

Google hasn't caught up with the times, so don't follow Google Maps to zHome. Instead, take your favorite route to I-90, Exit 18, follow the road up the hill and start looking for your friends. Or you can look for the solar panels up on the roof-tops! The project is next the new YMCA, about 200 feet east of the High Street/Highlands Drive intersection, on High Street. Plenty of parking is available but please do carpool or take public transportation.

Alex and zHome partners will make comments at 6:00 pm, however the evening is really dedicated to you – the green building professionals.
