Free Meet Ups & Drop-In Stations
No sign-up, no ticket, no pressure — just stop by whenever works for you. These casual stations run both days of the festival at set times, so you can drop in, hang out, and go at your own pace.
Junk Journaling Drop-In
No sign-up required beyond your festival ticket — just bring a journal and drop in anytime during the window. All materials are provided, including a stash of vintage anime magazines and other ephemera to cut, layer, and collage into your pages. This laid-back station is hosted by Northwest Stationery Fest volunteers, so there's no formal instruction — just a space to sit down, dig through the ephemera, and make a page or two at your own pace.

Washi Tape Sampling Station
Curious about a washi tape before committing to a full roll? Our sampling station has swatches from a variety of brands and patterns so you can test textures, colors, and adhesive strength in person. A great way to discover new favorites and figure out exactly what you're looking for before you shop the vendor floor.
Sticker Swap
Got extra stickers collecting dust in a drawer somewhere? Bring a few to trade and take home something new! A laid-back station for meeting fellow sticker collectors, clearing out your duplicates, and discovering artists and designs you haven't come across yet.
