What we’re about
This is a group for anyone interested in talking about how we interact with our built environment - with a specific focus on Seattle's Eastside cities and suburbs. If you live, work, or play on the Eastside (or even if you don't), and are interested in talking about things like infrastructure, transportation, transit, Vision Zero, housing, zoning, urban planning, sustainability, equity, accessibility, affordability, cities or places in general, you are welcome in this space! We are most active on Discord, and we have in-person meetups every Thursday!

Eastside Urbanism Weekly Meetup!
Jack Sprat, NE Turing St, Redmond, WA, USEvery Thursday, we are at Jack Sprat in Esterra Park hanging out and talking about our built environment. Grab some food or a drink! Meet neighbors and hear about what's going on locally! All are welcome!
Is there a particular way that your city is failing you? Want to figure out how you can do something about it? Did you move here from somewhere that is quite different? Are you unable to find housing that meets your needs where you want to live? Is your commute miserable? Do you bike, take transit, or wish you could? What is working here and what isn't? Let's talk about it!
Find us at Jack Sprat! Look for orange t-shirts, our logo tablecloth, bike helmets, or the big group of people excitedly talking about zoning rules and bus routes. Arriving late or leaving early is just fine - the cafe now closes at 9pm, the last trains run around 9:30pm, and we'll be there until we're done :)
Event RSVPs on this website do not paint an accurate picture - we usually are a group of 10-25 people each week. This group is mostly active on our Discord server - please join if you'd like to connect!
