Blue Zones Project Parkland-Spanaway

08/14/2026

Look at the progress we've made! 🙌

Over the last few weeks, our team has been BUSY as we work to reach our impact goals for this summer. New classes, Food Crawl events, and connecting with residents at local events - all in the name of creating a healthier Parkland-Spanaway!

104 people have pledged to make healthy changes in their lives since our last update and we still have some big events ahead to build on this momentum. 👀

If you've taken the pledge already, talk with your loved ones and neighbors! Already living an active and health-conscious lifestyle? Make the Pledge to help Parkland-Spanaway move closer to becoming a Blue Zones Certified Community!

We still have a few weeks left to have 1,000 residents commit to doing their part in creating a healthier community.

You can learn more and take action today at bzp-ps.com/pledge 🤝

POV: You take a Pilates class at an aerial arts studio 💫

Tucked behind Samurai's Japanese Steakhouse are a variety of local businesses - one of them being Akasha!

Akasha Aerials Arts is a mezmorizing and award-winning facility dedicated to high intensity, low impact movement classes for the adventurous souls of Spanaway!

Today, we teamed up with Jennifer from Akasha to host a challenging yet rewarding Mat Pilates class. Thank you to everyone who made it out to try something new!

Would you ever try an Aerial Arts class? Want to see more classes with Akasha on the events schedule? Let us know in the comments! 👀

Today, Arivva had the privilege of representing the Parkland Creative District at the ribbon-cutting celebration for the Parkland Mural Project!

It was wonderful to celebrate this beautiful addition to our community and the power of art to bring people together, create a sense of belonging, and make Parkland an even more vibrant place.

We are proud to be part of the growing creative community in Parkland!

A big thank you to Nick Goettling, Mary Mann, and everyone in the community who helped bring this beautiful mural to life
