What we’re about

Welcome to the Seattle Millennials and Gen Z Meetup group! We’re an active, inclusive community :)

If you’re on Meetup, you’re probably hoping to make friends. That’s great! You should fit right in! We’d love to meet you. Our main activity is our weekly happy hour where we grab drinks at a bar and chat. This can sometimes involve karaoke, boardgames, or minigolf. Currently, our weekly happy hour alternates between being on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday every week. We often have meetups on weekends as well. Our weekend activities have included hikes, kayaking, beach bonfires, festivals, wine tasting, and fruit picking. In addition to our official weekend meetups, many members will get together without an official meetup. For best results, show up to our weekly happy hour meetup and ask people about their plans for the weekend!

If you read our meetup’s name carefully, you’ll notice that our community is NOT strictly reserved for SINGLES!

That being said, if you ARE single, we ask that your primary motive at activities is to build new, lasting friendships. Members who are pushy or clingy or don’t give other members space will be asked to stop, then asked to leave. And it should go without saying that harassment (of any form) will not be tolerated.

We hope to see you soon!

Sun, Sep 21, 2025, 9:00 AM PDTApple Picking & Fall Harvest Festival!
Starbucks, Seattle, WA
NOTE: I'm trying out something new this year! We have a Discord community with a channel called "9-21-apple-picking" to help people find the group, coordinate carpools or recover lost items!

Let's kick off Autumn the right way by going apple picking at the Swans Trail Fall Festival!

This is peak season for apple picking, but there will also be other fall festivities and snacks to try out! Their website mentions that they are currently offering Honeycrisp apples, but I suspect based on last year that they will have one or two additional varieties that are ripe for picking when we go.

Admission to the apple orchard is free, but you must pay for the apples you pick, at $3.50 per lb. A bit pricey, but you are also paying for the experience. There are also several additional activities like the pig races that are all included with the purchase of the carnival general admission ticket. We don't usually do that though.

Everything below relates to carpooling:

The farm is roughly a 45 minute drive northeast of Seattle. We'll meet at the Starbucks in the long narrow public parking lot along Westlake Ave at 9 AM and split into our carpools at around 9:15! Let us know before 9 AM if you are on your way. We generally wait 15 minutes for people to arrive.

Please coordinate carpools in the comments or better yet, the discord or google doc!

Please post/comment/message if you can drive or if you need a ride!

Riders are expected to (at a bare minimum) split the cost of gas evenly between the driver and the other passengers, as well as a reasonable amount for projected wear and tear on the vehicle.

Sometimes if we have a large number of RSVPs, the carpool comments get a bit messy. In that case, for those who are concerned, we have never had a meetup where we didn't have enough seats, so if you show up to Art Marble on the day of the event, we can probably find a seat for you. Usually, other people are willing to drive but forget to post before the event.

If you are going to arrange your carpool to meet somewhere OTHER THAN Art Marble, I suggest a park and ride such as Greenlake, Northgate, Eastgate, or Tukwila/SouthCenter. Passengers, please do not ask to be picked up at your home; drivers, please don't offer to do so. It usually creates problems and makes the timing and logistics much more complicated, since people often aren't ready on time, cancel last minute, or just plain don't show up. On the other hand, dropping people off at their home after the event is much easier.

I strongly discourage meeting at the farm unless you need to, especially if you haven't already been to one of our meetups before. People who drive themselves often arrive earlier or later than us, don't recognize us, go to the wrong place, and/or get stressed out.

If this is your first time:

We will post the location of our table(s) once we are seated, as the meetup starts. For best results, it may be better to show up late. Sometimes we run a few minutes late, and in any case the group will probably be larger and easier to find. Be sure to refresh the comments page! It doesn't refresh on its own, unfortunately.

We don't mind if you are running late or canceling. It's fine! We meet every week anyways :)

Sat, Sep 27, 2025, 6:30 AM PDTCutthroat Pass Larch Hike
Lynnwood Transit Center Garage, Lynnwood, WA
Golden Larch Glory at Cutthroat Pass
As autumn unfurls its golden tapestry across the North Cascades, Cutthroat Pass becomes a sanctuary of shimmering beauty. The trail begins gently, winding through alpine forests and rocky outcrops, but as you ascend, the landscape transforms. Towering larches—those rare deciduous conifers—ignite the mountainside in hues of amber and gold, their needles glowing like lanterns in the crisp mountain air.
Each step brings a new vista: jagged peaks piercing the sky, meadows brushed with fall color, and the quiet hush of nature preparing for winter. The air is cool, scented with pine and earth, and the light dances through golden branches, casting a warm glow on the trail.
At the pass, the reward is breathtaking. Panoramic views stretch across the rugged spine of the Cascades, with golden larches carpeting the valleys below. It’s a moment of stillness, awe, and connection—where the grandeur of nature meets the quiet joy of discovery.
