FAQs

The Wedding Website of Eric Crew and Joanna Rutzky
Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

We will keep you up to date as we watch the forecast but it will be chilly (around 48°) at the top of the mountain so bring layers. We won't be up there long, and hot drinks and light food will be served to warm the body and hands. In the afternoon, the reception and cocktail hour at the farm will likely be mostly sunny with a few clouds, and 85° with a slight breeze.

Question

What happens if it rains?

Answer

If it’s a light rain we will have the ceremony at Mt Walker as planned. If the weather looks more severe we will let all who have RSVPed know the backup plan.

Question

What happens if there is a fire in the area and Mt Walker is closed?

Answer

We will move the ceremony to coincide with the reception location and time (taking a break from festivities for the ceremony at the best time, likely sunset:) The Meadow House at 381 N Sweetgrass Lane in Shelton.

Question

What happens after the ceremony?

Answer

There will be breakfast served with coffee and tea. People are more than welcome to hike around and explore the area so bring hiking boots or tennis shoes if you plan to walk around. There will be a long break between the ceremony and cocktail hour so you’ll have plenty of time to explore, hike, and nap.

Question

How do you get to the ceremony site?

Answer

47.78860° N, 122.90616° W These coordinates will take you to the parking for the Mt Walker North Viewpoint. At the top of the mountain the road splits for each viewpoint, head left to the north view point. There will be a sign located to the left of the walking trail with minimal parking here. If this area is full, someone will direct you to the south viewpoint and we’ll shuttle you back to the north viewpoint. Follow the stone lined path to the viewpoint. There is plenty of standing room but no seating for the ceremony. The ceremony will last less than 30min.

Question

Do I need an AWD vehicle to drive up the mountain?

Answer

No, you don’t need an AWD vehicle but there are potholes so keep an eye out as you’re driving.

Question

Will there be bathrooms at the ceremony site?

Answer

Yes, there are two drop toilets near the main parking area and another two at the south viewpoint parking area. Bring your own toilet paper if you’re particular like Eric is.

At the top of Mt Walker the road splits, head left to the north viewpoint.
This is the sign to look for to know where to park at the north viewpoint and the walking path is to the right of the sign.
This is the walking path to the ceremony site.
These are the rustic drop toilets for when nature calls.
