About us
Welcome to the Seattle Millennials and Gen Z Meetup group! We’re an active, inclusive community :)
If you’re on Meetup, you’re probably hoping to make friends. That’s great! You should fit right in! We’d love to meet you. Our main activity is our weekly happy hour where we grab drinks at a bar and chat. This can sometimes involve karaoke, boardgames, or minigolf. Currently, our weekly happy hour alternates between being on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday every week. We often have meetups on weekends as well. Our weekend activities have included hikes, kayaking, beach bonfires, festivals, wine tasting, and fruit picking. In addition to our official weekend meetups, many members will get together without an official meetup. For best results, show up to our weekly happy hour meetup and ask people about their plans for the weekend!
If you read our meetup’s name carefully, you’ll notice that our community is NOT strictly reserved for SINGLES!
That being said, if you ARE single, we ask that your primary motive at activities is to build new, lasting friendships. Members who are pushy or clingy or don’t give other members space will be asked to stop, then asked to leave. And it should go without saying that harassment (of any form) will not be tolerated.
We hope to see you soon!

Fort Columbia with coastal strawberry and cranberry weekend trip
Location not specified yetDescription
Picture it: you sweep across the emerald span of the Astoria–Megler Bridge, the river flashing like hammered steel below. On the Washington side, Fort Columbia Historic State Park rises out of cedar and spruce—moss‑soft bunkers, parade lawns, and cliff‑edge lookouts where the Pacific breathes in and out like a living thing. The air tastes faintly of salt and fir. Gulls stitch white threads across the sky. You’ve reached the place where the river meets the ocean—and where the weekend slows into something timeless.Coastal Strawberry Forage

Gold Panning by Snoqualmie River. Fill form to get off waitlist
Green Lake Park & Ride, 6601 8th Ave NE, N side of 65th St, Seattle, WA, USDescription
Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of gold panning at our special event on the banks of the Snoqualmie River. This is not just an event, it’s a journey into the past, a chance to touch history and experience the thrill of discovery.
As you stand by the river, gold pan in hand, you’ll feel a connection to the countless prospectors who once stood in your place, their hopes and dreams carried on the river’s current. The Snoqualmie River, with its clear waters and serene surroundings, is more than just a river - it’s a gateway to an adventure.
Feel the cool water rush over your hands as you sift through the sediment, each movement bringing you closer to that heart-stopping moment when you see the first glint of gold. It’s a thrill like no other, a moment of pure, golden excitement that’s as real as the nuggets you’ll find.
But the gold is just part of the story. It’s the laughter, the camaraderie, the shared excitement of discovery that makes this event truly special. It’s the stories told and the memories made, under the vast, open sky.
So, come, join us at the Snoqualmie River. Experience the rush of gold panning, make new friends, and create golden memories that will last a lifetime. This is more than just an event - it’s your chance to be a part of history. See you at the river! 🏞️💛Itinerary
