Here are 107+ of the best weekly, monthly, and seasonal events in the Seattle metro area — plus a couple hosted virtually — curated by Yours Truly, a fellow QTPOC and Pacific Northwest local. Some interest groups, nightlife, outdoors, fitness, arts and crafts, coworking, kink, and more. Hope you find something new to check out! This page is focused on:

Please contact organizers directly for event details and do your own research to confirm each date. Most calendar and event pages are linked below. This list is independently maintained. I am not affiliated with any of these organizations, just looking for more opportunities to be in community.
