If this is your first time:

• We will post the location of our table(s) once we are seated, as the meetup starts, on both this event page and in our WhatsApp channel. For best results, it may be better to show up late. Sometimes we run a few minutes late, and in any case the group will probably be larger and easier to find. Be sure to refresh the comments page! It doesn't refresh on its own, unfortunately.
• If you still can't find us, please post in the comments!
• We don't mind if you are running late or canceling. It's fine! We meet every week anyways :)

They revitalized Bothell’s first junior high with pure fun in mind – dining, movies, live music, swimming, games, shopping, tastings and all-around enjoyment for visitors of all ages.

No hall pass is needed to explore the five acres of gardens, bars and nooks: Sip a handcrafted beverage in the hallway, order drinks in the Principal’s Office, play pinball in the Woodshop, skip PE and float in the pool instead, and forgo the lunch line for casual, sophisticated dining at Tavern on the Square. Your only homework here? Explore, imbibe and enjoy!

Built in 1931 in the art deco style and later named for the school's first Principal, Wilbert A. "Andy" Anderson, the property is 20 miles north of Seattle, minutes from the Sammamish River Trail and adjacent to Pop Keeney Stadium.

A courtyard billowing with plants and trees is the heart of it all, the place to sit fireside with a beer brewed just steps away. Thoughout the property, unique artwork prevails, showcasing the history of the area and the fascinating people who were an integral part of it. Local artists crafted their interpretations based on historical photos and interviews from alumni, families and colorful residents.

Welcome to Anderson School; let the exploration begin!
