This is a group for anyone who has encountered the Seattle Freeze and persisted in the face of it -- whether you're new in town and wondering why it's so hard to connect, a long-term transplant who's all too familiar with the chill, or a native who wants to break out of the Seattle shell, we're here to give you a group to hang out with and some like-minded people who are also looking for friends, not just being "Seattle nice". Here's a great Seattle Times article about the Freeze: http://seattle …

The outings will mostly involve tent camping, trailer camping, car camping, and ca …

You could struggle and worry about the mainstream economy, or enjoy more abundance and freedom now by learning to depend more on your neighbors and less on distant suppliers and central banking systems (in our case the Federal Reserve). The more you localize your sourcing and finances, the more you can enjoy abundance and freedom now. Everyone involved with the transition movement understands local sourcing, but that is only half the story. The other half is local currency. With both of these co …

This group is designed for people, in their twenties or thirties, that moved here from somewhere else and are having a hard time finding an actual social circle, or want to expand their current one. Many of the other meetup groups out there don't get together enough to actually develop friendships, but we try to get together at least once a week.  That way, instead of having the same conversations about your job and your hometown over and over, you can really get to know people.  If that sounds …

If you're a rails dev, you already know, there aren't a whole lot of resources out there for us, not like there are for php, that's for sure. I thought it would be helpful for all of us railers to interact, learn, share, network, and hang out. As far as I know, our RoR group is the biggest and one of the most active in Seattle. We have laid back hang-out style meetups weekly, and every 4-6 weeks or so we try to hold an educational/networking meetup where we can all get together, network, and lea …

"Play Dates in Seattle" is a venue for making new friends with a similiar interest: live theatre . Through meetup, we plan "play dates" -- pick a show, pick a date and announce it to the group. We like to add a social component (dinner, drinks, dessert, etc) before or after the show to create social opportunity for friendship to grow. Some of us also have season tickets to certain theaters, but that's not required to join this group. We're a new group, and we're open to other ideas as well. If t …

We are a group of fun women with babies born in 2009 through 2012 (some of us have recently had baby #2 or are expecting soon).  Having our babies close in age allows us to organize events that are tailored to their developmental stage and it gives them an opportunity to socialize with little ones similar in age. And just as important, this gives us (mothers) the opportunity to experience the different stages of motherhood together.  We ask each other questions and share stories and insights tha …
