Icebreaker

Point Defiance AAZK is excited to welcome our 2026 AAZK National Conference delegates to the Foss Waterway Seaport for the conference icebreaker on Sunday, September 13th!  Located on Tacoma's historic waterfront, FWS is a heritage museum that features hands-on displays, a wooden boat shop, as well as a functional dock. Imagine a faithfully restored 125-year old building that has served the shores of Tacoma since it was built and now houses the greatest collection of marine history in the South Sound. The Seaport museum today is equal parts education facility, boat shop, maritime museum, dock, moorage, and iconic events venue.

In honor of one of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic animal residents, we are excited to announce that the theme for our icebreaker will be "Whale-come" to Tacoma!  For the opening of the conference, join us wearing your best orca-themed garb (or in a pinch, pack your black & white).

Thanks to The STEFI Fund for their generous sponsorship of the conference icebreaker!
