What we’re about
The Seattle PHP User Group (SeaPHP UG) is a volunteer-run PHP user group, and invites anyone with a desire to talk and learn about PHP and related technologies to gather together, share their knowledge, and promote the PHP community in the Seattle, WA, and Puget Sound area.
This group currently meets monthly to sharpen skills, network with other PHP developers in the area, learn new ideas and technologies, find jobs, and laugh. Check our meetup page regularly for details about each upcoming meetup.
In 2016, Seattle PHP became a 501c3 organization. This means donations you make, can be tax deductible.
How We Communicate
Please review our Code of Conduct.
The Seattle PHP community uses 2 types of communication on Meetup - the Mailing List and Message Board. We use the mailing list for developer discussions — asking/answering PHP questions, frameworks/CMS, Databases, architectural trade-offs, and receiving announcements. The Message Board is great for things like job postings, requests for work, event announcements, and sharing interesting news articles.
If you are a recruiter or you are offering a job, please use the Message Board to post the job opportunities
We encourage you to attend in-person meetups to announce jobs. Connect with people you want to hire! We provide a few minutes of dedicated open mic time at the beginning of the monthly meetups. Thanks for participating!

See all- MergePHP: Roll Your Own Graph-Driven MCP ServerLink visible for attendees
Receive a ready-to-use blueprint for building your Model Context Protocol server with Neo4j. We'll start with a quick survey of driver options across languages, then dive into how we built one using the PHP driver in a Symfony app, covering connection setup, session, and transaction handling before wrapping it all up with a live demo that ties it all together.
