Welcome! South Sound Vegans is a vegan-conscious and happy meetup group started by Mitch Glover in February 2009 because there were no vegan groups in the South Puget Sound area. Mitch knew that most folks in this area (Pierce, Kitsap, Thurston, Mason, and South King Counties) were ready for a local group and also didn't want to drive up to Seattle for vegan events. Our members are vegans and vegan-curious and non-vegan spouses, family members, partners, and friends are welcomed guests. We creat …

It's only been in the last 10 years that I started regularly reading this genre. I know there had to be plenty of people in the Tacoma area wanting to share this passion with a group of like-minded readers. I did not see evidence of a book club Meetup devoted to Sci-Fi and Fantasy when I started looking. So, here we are. If you're passionate about reading and discussing sci-fi AND fantasy books, film and television this is the place for you! Once a month we'll meet to discuss the current book se …

… Trying to "think" deep problems away just doesn't work over time, but "feeling" your problems in the right way does.  Trying hard to suppress feelings, emotions, images, and thoughts just doesn't work over time, but "feeling" your problems away does. Isn't that strange?  How could that be?  We think that we are supposed to motivate our self into change through our thoughts, but all the while it is feeling the sensations of the body in the right way that actually changes our thoughts and our selv …

Hello... This group was created out of the sheer need for a singles group/meet up site for adults of all ages...the young and the young at heart (Starting @ age 21 to ??? in age.) in the Kitsap co. and surrounding areas.                                                                                                                                                The idea of this group is based on meeting new single people locally and to organize and hold events throughout the year (exclusively fo …

Welcome to the Tacoma Women's Run, Walk and Triathlon group! This group is focused on two aspects: getting/staying fit! and having fun doing it! My goal is to create a community of women who can call themselves friends while meeting on a weekly basis for running, swimming, and cycling (and maybe the occasional hike or evening out!). Starting out we will be running focused, but I plan to incorporate regular pool visits and bike rides as well. This will be an opportunity to try something new, beco …

We are a group of ladies (and occasionally some gents) that are on a journey of health. We started as a beginner 5k running group in the summer of 2011. The group went so well that we started meeting every Sunday morning rain or shine to jog, climb stairs, do push-ups, etc. As the weather gets nicer we have decided to create this meet-up group so that we can meet more often and with more people! You don't have to be in great shape to be a part of this dynamic group. We just love to get out and g …

… So I kept adding more and became stressed, but Maum Meditation was just the opposite. Instead of adding, Maum Meditation provided a simple method of subtraction. After subtracting my past I began to change my mind; how I viewed the world. The method of subtraction allowed me to get rid of my 'self' and my self-centered mind which controlled my speech, thought, and action. Maum Meditation allows me to live freely, without judgment and with gratitude." - Ben / Foster City, CA / International Assoc …

Mark Suster recently said  that "Seattle should be the envy of any non-Silicon-Valley tech community in the country. [...] The neurons aren’t connecting to the startups. Somebody needs to make this happen." (TechCrunch)It's obvious that Seattle's tech community is strong and growing, but there's a disconnect between the larger named organizations and the startups. They’re doing stuff – just not enough.That is why I'm starting Seattle Tech Meetup (@STMeetup). It all starts with creating a strong …

… Wear or bring a bib apron if you have one, just in case we do something messy—and sometimes your hands might get a little dirty (or green!) It's best that you have your own flower snipper, wire cutter & ribbon scissors to use, but we can share flower tools if necessary. Julia doesn’t have 15 sets of tools, so sharing across the table may require just a touch of patience, like in grade school. Members are expected be active participants. Don’t come if you’re cynical, grumpy or really negative, or …

I wanted to start this book club because I adore books and always wanted to be a part of a book club but I work non-traditional hours and was never able to get meet up with groups. I figure there have to be more fellow book nerds like myself who want to read and discuss books in social venues...but they just can't do it at the "normal" times.

I started this meet up group because comedy lovers needed some stand up comedy in the south end and now it's available EVERY Sunday Night at the Inn Between Pub in Kent. Most all the comics have been gut bustin funny, all different, from different places, some veterans who have been on the big screen, the small screen, shared stages with the biggest and baddest, some that are making their debut, but all of them will make you laugh! The Inn Between Pub has good drinks, good bartenders and have …
