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 …

I'm starting this group to establish a network of suburban chicken wranglers so that we can help each other navigate the ins and outs of keeping chickens as pets. There are a number of similar groups in Seattle, but not so many in the suburbs. Hopefully we can all be resources to each other for questions of how to understand your local regulations, HOA requirements, neighbor relations, health and care, coop design, and so on. First and foremost, though, my aim is to bring the 'burbs up to date i …

Do you enjoy riding your bicycle for transport, recreation, shopping, or just because? Cycle Chic's original concept of riding around the city wearing everyday clothing going to coffee is a fun thought. And we may do some of that, however, riding around in any city next to traffic can be a nerve wrecking and intimidating experience if you are not used to it. Here in the Pacific Northwest we have the option of trading the busy city streets for partial rural and urban streets with great views and …
