About us
Please note — Meetup has been doing some “winter cleaning” by deleting members who haven’t logged in or opened an email in the last 3 years.
NW Pugs! has started doing a little “spring cleaning.”
We understand life changes — you may have moved on or your email may have changed — no worries!
Members inactive for 3+ years may receive an email (depending on Meetup settings) letting them know they’ve been removed from the group. You are always welcome to rejoin anytime!
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. 🐾
🐾 WELCOME TO NW PUGS! 🐾
What is NW Pugs?
We are a community of pug-loving people who bring their furry kids together to snort, run, and play on the Eastside of Seattle.
NW Pugs! is a social group for pugs and pug mixes that gathers once a month — and even more often during the summer months. Our group has been bringing pugs together since May 2006. Your pug will love frolicking with their friends in a safe, fun environment.
During the warm summer months, we host our “Pugs in the Park” meetups. We also branch out with special events like shelter benefit walks, pub outings, Boba Tea’s Gotcha Day party at a bubble tea shop, and other fun activities to enjoy with our pugs!
Since May 2006, we have had a total of 393 meetups.
Thank you for your interest in joining NW Pugs!
Toni, Boba Tea, and Kora
NW Pugs! Organizers
NW Pugs! continues in loving memory of Luci Lu 🌈, who inspired me to start the group back in May 2006.
My Luci Lu 11.26.2004 – 10.11.2021
She was just one month shy of turning 17.
RIP, my wild girl.
My Zoe Zo
On June 12, 2022, Zoe Zo joined Luci Lu over the Rainbow Bridge 🌈, just two months shy of 15. She was the true definition of a pug — sweet, loyal, and such a well-behaved little girl.
Run free, girls, run free! 🌈🐾
