This is a group for people who like to get out exploring with their dogs.  Hikes and walks will mainly be scheduled for the Seattle area and north. You do not need to own or bring a dog to join us, you just need to be willing and comfortable hiking with dogs. I am not an experienced guide, but over the past year have done a number of hikes and am wanting to find others that are passionate about getting out as well. http://www.meetup.com/north-end-hikes-and-walks-with-dogs/about/ Disclaimer: We a …

Welcome to the Midweek Hiking Meetup Group. As the name implies, hikes will be offered only on weekdays, never on Saturdays or Sundays.  If you are retired (like me), have some weekdays off, or just get sick a lot on sunny work days, then this is the group for you. I will concentrate on day-hikes in the Cascade Mountains along the I-90 corridor and also Mt. Rainier.  These areas are way too crowded on weekends and are best enjoyed in the relative peace and quiet of a weekday. Most hikes will be …

Hi! We've been bemoaning the lack of opportunities to meet professional, healthy, happy, attractive, interesting, adult polyamorous people in the Seattle area. This is supposedly one of the biggest, most active polyamorous communities in the US, and yet it appears that all of us poly folk are just groping around in the dark, trying to meet each other! SO, after thinking about ways to meet others, we had the bright idea to start a group poly folk in the area. We personally are half-closeted (she …

Calling all Seattle singles who want to meet others with similar health and fitness goals. This Meetup group will schedule fun group active events such as hiking, frisbee, biking, yoga, Stand Up Paddling, and kayaking. I would like to coordinate other fun games such as capture the flag, an "Amazing Race-Seattle event" and the like. If you are single and like to be outdoors and exercise, why not do it with other singles? I have also built a Facebook page called Seattle Interact which will post th …

RSVP to get a nametag. This is important, because people without nametags aren't even really people. There, I said it. ******** HackerNest is a grassroots, nonpartisan, nonprofit movement dedicated to uniting local tech communities globally.

"The Mastermind alliance consists of two or more people who work in perfect harmony for the attainment of a definite purpose." This Meetup employs early 20th Century principles with an early 21st Century perspective.  Where Napoleon Hill was primarily concerned with business creation and growth, this meetup casts this into the "start-up" business metaphor of the Internet era; and it encompasses the social sphere of individual growth where a member might want to attain a personal goal.  Knowing t …

The only truly successful, flexible, businesslike, selfgoverning internet investing (crowdfunding) companies, are those organized under Dutch law. Tremendous interest has been generated in the U.S. about crowdfunding because of the rare bipartisan consensus leading to passage of a U.S. Crowdfunding law. However, the law is so flawed it is unlikely to ever be useful. Currently, worldwide, only the Dutch law fits the bill.  We were initially under the impression that only Dutch Citizens and Dual N …

We have a group of solid guys who play a home tourney style of Texas hold em every 6 weeks or so in someone's Man Cave. Manny's Beer on tap provided. Always have a solid group of 6-9, but sometimes need a few people to fill out a few spots at the table. Not large stakes, but not miniscule. Not enough of an enticement for a top player to wipe up on the working stiffs. Good guys, good conversation and joking, and not overly serious. Please feel free to contact if you think you would fit in and wou …

GAMIFY MY HEALTH – THE PLACE TO MEET THE PEOPLE WHO CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO LIVES, EVERY DAY. Most of us have friends or family whose lives have been impacted by chronic disease, which are responsible for 7 in 10 deaths. While the four biggest causes of chronic disease appear simple, they are incredibly hard to tackle as they require behaviour change: Inactivity, poor diet, alcohol and tobacco. So why do we find it so hard to stay motivated to make the daily choices required to keep us healthy? …

The 30's are proving to be just as awkward as the teens. There are other singles' groups in Seattle and it seems that the people who attend the events are either too young or too old for those of us in our Roaring 30's. The aim of this group is to narrow the gap a little and have fun with other 30-somethings in the area. You should join this group if you are 30-something in age or at heart. You don't quite yet feel like a dirty old man or a cougar but, at the same time, you're hurt when some …

Seattle-area ladies united in the bold pursuit of new friends, drinking, and irreverent fun-making. Lurk no more: if you were wondering where all the fun, creative, independent, literate ladies are, you found us. I started this meetup in part because I felt like so many of the other women-centric meetup groups tend to be a little heavy on the butterfly imagery or Sex and the City connotations.  Or focused around professional networking, babies, or exercise.  And those are all great things--espec …
