What we’re about
Calling all makers! We're a membership-based makerspace in Interbay and we're hosting meetups for makers who love to, well, make things!
Our meetups are for tech nerds who want to talk shop, hobbyists who want to build that idea that's been keeping them up at night, cosplay enthusiasts who want to stitch their dreams into existence, and anyone who loves to DIY.
We'll be hosting events around holiday themes, specific types of technology or materials, and much more. Come make in a fun and easy-going environment where failure is embraced and exploration is the norm.
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Game Night at Seattle Makers!Seattle Makers, Seattle, WA
Join us for the Seattle Makers Game Night, where we get together, play board games, and promote and discuss game development projects of all kinds!
Some of my personal favorites are Dominion, Settlers of Catan, Rummikub, and Blood on the Clocktower (if someone wants to bring it).
As always, this is an open-spirited event and everyone is looking to play new games, so don’t hesitate to bring in a game you’re passionate about, and let’s try it together!
In the same vein, do you have a project you’ve been working on that you want to show off and play-test? Bring it in too! We celebrate anything game-related: puzzles, arcade cabinets, custom chess pieces -- we want to see it all!
We are not limited to physical games! We have a projector setup for digital games too, as long as you provide the system. Though allow for some expected setup time lol.Come play games, hang out with friends, discuss game design, and build new like-minded connections! Seattle Makers is an open and accepting community, and we’d love to have you here!
