About us
This is a group for anyone who has encountered the Seattle Freeze and persisted in the face of it -- whether you're new in town and wondering why it's so hard to connect, a long-term transplant who's all too familiar with the chill, or a native who wants to break out of the Seattle shell, we're here to give you a group to hang out with and some like-minded people who are also looking for friends, not just being "Seattle nice".

Fort Columbia with coastal strawberry and cranberry weekend trip
Location not specified yetDescription
Picture it: you sweep across the emerald span of the Astoria–Megler Bridge, the river flashing like hammered steel below. On the Washington side, Fort Columbia Historic State Park rises out of cedar and spruce—moss‑soft bunkers, parade lawns, and cliff‑edge lookouts where the Pacific breathes in and out like a living thing. The air tastes faintly of salt and fir. Gulls stitch white threads across the sky. You’ve reached the place where the river meets the ocean—and where the weekend slows into something timeless.Coastal Strawberry Forage
