The Cascade Grotto is a local chapter of the National Speleological Society,
usually known as the NSS (and not to be confused with the other NSS,
the National Space Society). The NSS is dedicated to the study,
exploration, and conservation of caves and their contents. Regular Grotto meetings are held monthly at 7:00 pm on the third
Friday of each month at the Hamlin Room in the Shoreline Community
Center. The Center is at 18560 1st Ave. NE in Shoreline.
To get to the Community Center from Seattle, take Exit 176 on
Interstate 5 (175th St. N) and turn left at the light at the bottom of
the off ramp. At the next traffic light (Meridian Ave. N) turn right.
Turn right at 185th St. N (the next light). Turn left on 1st Ave. NE,
which again is the next light. The Community Center is on the right.
Don't get confused with the Senior Center, which is on the end of the
building. Enter the building on the southwest corner and find the
Hamlin Room.
