Name: Summer Kickoff Party!
Start: 2025-05-16T00:30:00.000Z
Location: Basecamp Cafe and Bar

Come walk with us along with your new friends around Capitol Hill! Kick off your Sunday mornings with a laid-back urban walk. Start at Basecamp Cafe, grab a coffee, hit a route to the Olympic Sculpture Garden or the the Arboretum, and enjoy a light, fun, and social start to your day.

Whether you're here to meet new people or just soak in the city vibes, everyone’s welcome—the more, the merrier!

We'll hand out a couple conversation trading cards to help fill the gaps with an interesting topic should your conversation lull. This week's highlight: what elevator music genre do you think would cause the most happy chaos?

Meeting time: 9:30am to grab coffee/"trail" snacks. We gather at the couches in the front of the cafe and then move outside as we get ready to depart! We'll post the route here as a comment a day or two in advance so everyone can follow along.

Length: 3-5 miles

Difficulty: Easy

## Details

**Welcome to Gearhouse's monthly Free, Homegrown Trivia!**
We built a trivia completely in house since we didn't enjoy many other trivia's in town. We've got range too as one round is guaranteed to be themed to the month (Back to School for September) while the others run from special topics, current events, and any other idea we think is worth trivializing!

Come solo or with a team and we'll help people form teams! Compete in teams up to 4 for free with the chance to win a sixty dollar gift card for the winning team for answering The Pretzel Goddess's questions. *We reserve a table for those that come without a team to make sure everyone is welcome and that you walk away meeting someone!*

* Trivia questions start flying at 7pm
* Be here early to register your team and get settled!

**Who is The Pretzel Goddess?**
Hailing from Montana and now residing in Seattle, she's both respected and feared by bar and restaurant owners the world over for her impeccable pretzel and cheese reviewing abilities and isn't afraid to bust out a spreadsheet to analyze the merits of each for her blog. She also happens to be a friendly Gearhouse member!
Come have fun with us the thirdish Monday of each month!
Members and non-members welcome, no knowledge is required to have a good time!

Homegrown Trivia at Basecamp Cafe

For all the (Board)Game lovers out there!

Kill your Netflix and spend some time with people IRL. We'll be playing all kinds of games...board games, card games, name games...

Don't be shy. Come and down and you might not only meet some fun new people, but the makings of a fun weekend activity or future adventure could be on the menu.

Please rsvp and make sure you turn up. Solitaire isn't as fun as everyone thinks. ;) If you have a game you love - we'd love to play it with you! Bring it along and we'll get a round going. We're always looking for games that take 20-30 minutes to play and can handle a large number of people but all games are welcome!

Check-in with the barista/bartender for a name-tag and to find the next open table and things will get rocking and rolling from there!
