Proposal Questions Please limit your answers to no more than one page for each question. 1. Tell us about your promotion,program,facility,event or activity and why you think it will increase tourists traveling to and staying in Jefferson County. Include a general description of the promotion, program, facility, event or activity including its purpose, history, etc. Overview& Purpose Revival Gatherings is a dynamic, inter-generational series of immersive cultural events rooted in the creative spirit of Jefferson County and the ancestral territory of the Coast Salish peoples. For more than a decade, Revival has convened multi-day gatherings that weave together workshops, performances, and art exhibitions to restore communal connection, spark creativity, and celebrate cultural vibrancy—all within the lush landscapes of Western Washington. History& Signature Gatherings Each"Revival" is intentionally crafted, blending music,wisdom, visual art, and holistic practices in handmade tents, immersive installations, and cultural spaces. These gatherings create a deeply embodied sense of belonging that resonates far beyond the traditional festival format. In 2025, the annual Revival Gathering hosted 330 participants for three days of ceremony, workshops, and performance. In 2026, from July 30—August 3, we anticipate 550 attendees, reflecting significant growth and heightened demand for cultural tourism experiences in Jefferson County. Revival also produces the annual MANifest Gathering-the largest"men's work"gathering in the PNW. In 2025 Revival (dba MANifest) hosted 130 men for 4 days, and in 2026 we'll host 150 men for 5 days, both in Chimacum WA. In addition to these larger multi-day gatherings, Revival also hosts many shoulder season concerts with national and international acts at the Palindrome in Port Townsend, drawing attendees from Vancouver BC to Portland OR. We produced about 4 concerts in 2025, and plan to host at least 6 in 2026,totaling about 900 attendees from far and wide. Why It Drives Tourism Destination Attraction: The uniqueness of a Revival Gathering draws visitors from across the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, West Coast, US and beyond. On offer are dozens of nationally-renowned musical acts, dynamic workshop presenters, and cultural leaders,all showcased at the world class"Quilcene Lantern, Village Seed,and Palindrome"venues. These multi-day stays and widely-attended concerts generate direct spending in local lodging, restaurants, and small businesses galore. Unique Offerings: The blending of co-creative participatory acts, environmental awareness, grief ritual, and Coast Salish cultural leadership differentiates this Jefferson County offering from most all other local cultural tourism offerings. Local Partnerships: Revival collaborates with local Chemakum peoples, Duwamish Tribal Leaders,and Saanich storytellers.Jefferson County artisans and educators participate by the Wage NEWSTORIES REVIVAL GATHERINGS Page 20 of 46 RECEIVED 09/10/25 Page 6 of 31 dozens.Many local regenerative organizations sponsor the gathering, such as the Chimacum Farm-stand,the PT Co-op, Global Earth Repair, Peninsula Ecstatic Dance,Goodness Tea Co and others, ensuring visitors experience an authentic slice of local Jefferson County talent. Sustained Engagement: Along with multi-day participation at our signature summer event, Revival produces a host of other multi-day Jefferson County retreats(such as"MANifest Gathering,"the largest men's work gathering in the PNW). Revival also hosts many concerts and daylong workshops, promoting a sustained exploration of Jefferson County by hundreds of regional participants throughout the year. Economic Spillover: Visitation increases demand for hotels, food, fuel, supplies, camping services, local craftsmanship, etc—greatly benefiting the broader Jefferson County economy. People who come to a Revival, partly do so because of the natural and cultural beauty of the area. They don't just stay for the event, but stay before and afterwards as well. 2. If this is a continuing or reoccurring promotion,program,facility or event,describe your organization's prior activities. If applicable,how is it different than in the past? Revival Gatherings has a 10+year history of producing inter-generational,arts-centered cultural events across Western Washington, but mostly based in Jefferson County now. Since its inception, Revival has consistently drawn hundreds of participants to each gathering, combining live music,ritual,visual arts, ecological education, and participatory workshops. Each year builds upon the last, strengthening Revival's ability to design experiences that foster community connection, highlight Jefferson County talent, and attract visitors from beyond the region. In 2025,the annual Revival Gathering brought together 330 attendees for a multi-day program featuring more than 40 artists, musicians,and cultural practitioners. The scale and impact was reflected by over 100 unsolicited testimonials, deepening participant affection with this beautiful peninsula. Each of the 4 concerts that Revival produced at the Palindrome in 2025 sold out at 150-175 tickets. The 2025 MANifest gathering hosted 130 men for 4 days in Chimacum. The upcoming 2026 Revival Gathering (July 30—August 3) is projected to host 550 participants—our largest gathering to date. What distinguishes 2026 from past years is the expanded integration with Jefferson County's tourism economy. We'll be highlighting all of Revival's local sponsors/talent throughout our website, social media channels, and 1,600+person newsletter.New features will include local artisan showcases, Tarboo valley watershed stewardship, and greater integration with Jefferson County event coordinators such as the Production Alliance. These evolutions not only broadens visitor engagement with the region's unique identity but also ensures greater economic benefit for local lodging, restaurants, and small businesses. 3. How does your promotion,program,facility or event support one of the Highest Priorities or Additional Considerations listed below under"Other Criteria" (see page 9)? 6i age NEWSTORIES REVIVAL GATHERINGS Page 21 of 46 RECEIVED 09/10/25 Page 7 of 31 Revival Gatherings directly support Jefferson County's LTAC priorities by advancing both special event tourism and destination development.As producing a series of multi-day cultural festivals, Revival falls squarely within the County's second-highest priority, "the marketing and operations of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists." Revival enhances Jefferson County's destination development by activating community infrastructure—local campgrounds, event venues, and tourism services—while drawing visitors to stay multiple days(usually 4-5+nights). These gatherings generate significant economic spillover for area restaurants, lodging, campgrounds, grocery stores, small businesses, and cultural venues. In alignment with Additional Considerations, Revival delivers: Promotion of Jefferson County: Elevates the region as a hub for arts,culture, and ecological tourism through storytelling, partnerships, and media promotion. Overnight Stays& Economic Benefit: Nearly all participants stay in Jefferson County lodging due to the multi-day format, with expanded programming encouraging longer visits. Proven Track Record: The 2025 Revival Gatherings successfully hosted 1060 attendees; the 2026 Gatherings are projected to bring 1600, demonstrating strong growth and impact. Partnership& Collaboration: Revival works with Coast Salish cultural leaders,Jefferson County artisans,local businesses,and regenerative organizations, ensuring benefits are shared across communities, reinforcing Jefferson County's cultural identity. By attracting regional, national, and international visitors for a transformative cultural experience, Revival strengthens Jefferson County's reputation as a destination while delivering measurable tourism and economic benefits. 4. Describe how you intend to market/promote your promotion,program, facility, event or activity to potential tourists who reside outside Jefferson County or traveling more than 50 miles. a. If an event,the date of the event: The 2026 Revival Gathering will take place July 30—August 3,2026. The 2026 MANifest Gathering will take place July 8-13th 2026. The 6 standalone concerts have not yet been scheduled. b.Timeline for tourism promotion activity: Marketing and ticket sales will begin in October 2025 with early announcements and ticket sales, building momentum March—July 2026 with artist spotlights,cultural leader features, and partner campaigns, and continuing through the event to support pre and post-gathering tourism in Jefferson County. 7IPage NEWSTORIES REVIVAL GATHERINGS Page 22 of 46 RECEIVED 09/10/25 Page 8 of 31 C.Target Audience Visitors from across the Pacific Northwest,West Coast,and beyond seeking unique cultural, artistic, and nature-based tourism. Professionals,artists,educators, activists,families and community leaders interested in inter-generational and immersive cultural experiences. Travelers prioritizing intentional, regenerative tourism,wellness, and ecological connection. National and international guests drawn by Revival's partnerships with local cultural and ecological networks. d.Promotion methods you intend to use to reach the target audience. Digital Media& Social Platforms: Revival's website, growing Instagram platform (@revivalgatherings),Facebook page, and founder's 3.8k FB following will feature consistent storytelling, event announcements, and multimedia campaigns. Email Campaigns: Revival maintains an active 1600+(and growing) mailing list to share updates,ticket sales, and lodging information. Community& Cultural Partnerships: Cross-promotion with Jefferson County artists, Coast Salish cultural leaders, and regenerative organizations amplifies the event through trusted networks."Collaborative" social media posts are almost half of Revival's marketing strategy. Press& Event Listings: Revival will soon be submitting articles to local and regional news outlets. Submissions to regional travel and culture calendars will also be expanded, along with outreach to grassroots digital media outlets and niche cultural publications. On-the-ground visibility: Fliers, posters, handbills and word-of-mouth reference have been— and will continue to be—ample around the region. e. Describe how you will promote overnight stays at Jefferson County lodging establishments. Because the Revival Gathering spans 5 days, most attendees will stay overnight. Revival will encourage this by: Listing local lodging options(hotels, campgrounds, B&B's, and partner retreat centers) on its website and in communications. Offering camping on-site and encouraging pre and post-event stays in Jefferson County to extend the visitor experience. Promoting Jefferson County as a destination for arts, culture, and nature retreats beyond the gathering itself. Wage NEWSTORIES REVIVAL GATHERINGS Page 23 of 46 RECEIVED 09/10/25 Page 9 of 31 f. If you intend to collaborate with another agency or non-profit to provide these services,please state the name of the organization and describe the nature of the collaboration: Revival has historically collaborated with local artists,cultural leaders,and community organizations,though no formal tourism-promotion partnerships for 2026 are yet public. Potential collaborators will likely include the Global Earth Repair Foundation,the Production Alliance, and the Port Townsend Coop, along with other arts, wellness, and tourism organizations. 5. How will you measure the effectiveness of your promotion,program,facility,event or activity? a. Also,describe how you will document and report to the County the economic impact from your promotion,program,facility,event or activity. (State law requires the County to report annually to the State Department of Community Development and Economic Trade about the number of lodging stays and economic benefit from tourists generated by use of Lodging Tax proceeds for tourism promotion.) Measuring Effectiveness: Revival Gatherings will measure effectiveness through a combination of quantitative and qualitative indicators: Attendance data: Ticket sales, registration records, and demographic tracking (e.g., percentage of visitors from outside Jefferson County, including 50+miles away). Lodging impact: Tracking participant use of on-site camping, local hotels, B&Bs, and campgrounds via post-event surveys. Visitor engagement: Evaluating participation across workshops, performances, cultural activities, and ecological projects. Community feedback: Collecting input from artists,cultural leaders, and attendees through surveys and focus groups to gauge cultural impact,visitor satisfaction, and economic contribution. Testimonials: Much like in years past,testimonials will surface by the dozens, affirming the potency and social impact of the event. Digital reach: Monitoring website analytics, social media engagement, and email campaign performance to assess marketing effectiveness. Documenting& Reporting Economic Impact: To ensure compliance with state and county reporting requirements, Revival will: Wage NEWSTORIES REVIVAL GATHERINGS Page 24 of 46 RECEIVED 09/10/25 Page 10 of 31 Collect data about participant lodging through custom registration questions during the ticket purchase process. Conduct post-event surveys asking attendees to indicate the number of nights stayed in Jefferson County and type of lodging used. Estimate tourist spending in Jefferson County on lodging, food, fuel, supplies, and local artisan products. Collect vendor and partner reports on sales and participation to assess the economic ripple effect. Compile these results into quarterly and annual reports submitted to Jefferson County, detailing: Total number of tourists and attendees. Documented overnight stays in Jefferson County-based lodging establishments. Estimated local economic benefit(lodging, restaurants, amenities, small businesses). Revival has already demonstrated the ability to gather and share this data after accessing LTAC funds for large events previously hosted in San Juan County, and will continue refining its reporting process in 2026 to provide Jefferson County with clear, measurable evidence of tourism and economic impact. 6. What economic impact can we expect in Jefferson County from your proposed promotion, program,facility,event or activity? a. Actual or estimated number of tourists at your event/facility last year(2025): 1060 participants b. Estimated number of tourists who will attend your event/facility this year(2026): 1600 participants c. Projected economic impact in Jefferson County from your event/facility(e.g. number of tourists who will stay overnight in Jefferson County-based lodging establishments;economic impact for Jefferson County restaurants, community facilities, amenities, events, and businesses). 700 overnight stays per night(a mix of commercial lodging, campgrounds, and on-site camping), resulting in more than 2,950 total visitor nights across all events. (Not including 1- night concerts, as the ratio of locals to tourists has not been deciphered. Direct lodging revenue through Jefferson County-based hotels, B&Bs, and campgrounds, in addition to on-site accommodations.

Describe your organization's area of expertise. Do you provide a unique service?

Background Information Jefferson County's Lodging Tax The Lodging Tax is an excise(sales)tax authorized by State law in RCW 67.28, Public Stadium, Convention,Arts and Tourism Facilities. In 1998,the State Legislature amended Chapter 67.28 of the Revised Code of Washington(RCW) to allow local governments to assess an additional 2%tax on lodging for tourism promotion and/or tourism-related facilities (sometimes referred to as "the new 2%"). In April 1999, the County Commission,by Ordinance, increased the County's Lodging Tax from a 2%to a 4%tax as allowed by RCW 67.28. Jefferson County's Lodging Tax Advisory Committee Per RCW 67.28.1817, the State requires that local governments collecting the Lodging Tax establish a Lodging Tax Advisory Committee consisting of at least five (5)members: The Chair —a member of the County Commission or their designee 2 members—representing the lodging industry 2 members—representing activities authorized to be funded by said tax The Committee's role is advisory in nature, with the Committee's purpose being to advise the County Commissioners. The Committee must select the candidates from amongst the applicants applying for use of revenues and provide a list of such candidates and recommended amounts of funding to the County Commissioners for final determination. In 1998,the Jefferson County Commissioners created such a Committee,and asked the Committee to establish an annual process to solicit and review proposals for tourism services eligible for lodging tax funding. Committee members are appointed by the County Commissioners as part of the County's regular advisory committee appointment process.
