Step+Connect: A Social Walking Meetup in Seattle

Ready to get outside, stretch your legs, and meet new people while enjoying one of Seattle’s beautiful parks? Step+Connect is a social-walking event designed to help you do just that!

We’ll gather a small group for a relaxed walk, where you’ll pair off with a different walking partner every 20–30 minutes. This way, you’ll have a chance to connect more deeply with a few people — minus the overwhelm.

As your event host, I’ll offer a casual conversation prompt to help spark discussion (but it’s flexible, so chats can flow naturally).

Event Timeline:
• 10–10:15: This is when you should plan to arrive at Green Lake to allow yourself time for parking and walking to the meetup spot
• 10:30–10:45: Arrival, welcome, and pairing. (Please be on-time to participate; late arrivals cannot be accommodated.)
• 10:45–11:45: Walking + partner rotations
• 11:45–12:00: Wrap-up and casual mingling

Event Details:

• When: Saturday, April 4, 2026
• Time: 10:30am–Noon Pacific
• Where: Green Lake Park (RSVP by April 2 to be notified via direct Meetup message of where exactly we'll meet in this legendary — and huge — Seattle park)
• What to bring: Dress for the weather (rain or shine), wear comfortable walking shoes, and consider bringing water with you to stay hydrated while you walk and talk!
• In order to participate, please be sure your Meetup profile picture shows your face clearly (no sunglasses, silhouette shots, Bitmojis/renderings, or anything obscuring your face); profiles that do not have a clear face picture will be removed from the RSVP list. Thank you!
• This event is designed to be an analog/IRL experience where you can connect with people face to face. As such, your event host will not be reachable between 10am and 12:30pm on the day of the event so that she can remain fully present with event attendees. If you have questions about this event or need guidance, please plan to reach out in the days leading up to the event in order to ensure you get a response.
• Please only RSVP if you plan to attend (and update your RSVP *before Thursday, April 2* if your plans change, so someone else can enjoy your spot). If you flake repeatedly, you will be removed from the RSVP list for future events.

Whether you’re new to Seattle, looking to expand your existing social circle, or just want to enjoy a refreshing walk with friendly company, Step+Connect is the ideal way to get moving and meet like-minded people. We look forward to connecting with you!
