Meet other out-of-shape local hiking enthusiasts in this dog-and-family-friendly group. We'll set a slower pace, and start with easier, shorter hikes. Please note: I mean HIKES not walks down nature paths. :) There may be some walks down nature paths, but please be prepared to do real-life hiking. I'm unabashedly completely and totally overweight and out of shape, and I want to do something about it. If you do too, then let's start slow! If you aren't interested in pushing yourself just that lit …

Take time to enjoy the surroundings of Pudget Sound and the Cascades. This group is designed for the casual hiker/enthusiast to meet and enjoy the company of other like minded souls while visiting natural and man made wonders in the Northwest. Most outings will be focused on casual day hiking in the Snoqualmie foothills/I-90 region but will also include other activities limited only by our imagination. A balance of making, and visiting with, friends while experiencing a morning, day, evening, or …

LIFE IS TOO SHORT NOT TO HAVE A LITTLE UMBRELLA IN YOUR DRINK. This is a group for women in their 40's and 50's, to make new girlfriends for socializing, support, fun, shopping, or almost anything else. There are plenty of groups for younger women, but nothing on the Eastside or Maple Valley area for those of us who remember 8-track players, American Bandstand, and white go-go boots. We are an active group with 7-8 events per month at various locations from the Kirkland area all the way down to …

My name is Myrissa Yamashiro and I am the owner and operator of Anytime Fitness in Redmond Ridge. If you knew me 10 years ago - it would be hard to envision that my future would include owning a fitness club, becoming a certified personal trainer and helping others change their lives for the better. The reality was I was an overweight (obese) stay-at-home- mom. To make a long story short I lost weight and here I am today. My fitness journey has taken me to places I could never have imagined. Sev …

The calling is clear and persistent… You do hear it!  You can feel it!  Women… come and let us gather together, as we once did, in a gentle supportive circle where we  are collectively creating a sacred synergy through drumming, singing, dancing, ceremonies, rites of passage from all faiths, creative art, movement and food as we share and celebrate together.

Walking is a great activity to help you meet your health and fitness goals.  It is a wonderful way to see new places and meet fun people. While this is mainly a walking group, we occasionally post other fitness activities such as hiking, biking or kayaking. Most of our events are on the eastside, including (but not limited to) Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Woodinville, Sammamish, Issaquah and Mercer Island. Every once in a while we will post an event in Seattle or elsewhere. We like routes that a …

All levels and abilities of photographers are welcome. Learning landscape photography, exploring great locations, getting that great shot and good company …

Welcome to the Midweek Hiking Meetup Group. As the name implies, hikes will be offered only on weekdays, never on Saturdays or Sundays.  If you are retired (like me), have some weekdays off, or just get sick a lot on sunny work days, then this is the group for you. I will concentrate on day-hikes in the Cascade Mountains along the I-90 corridor and also Mt. Rainier.  These areas are way too crowded on weekends and are best enjoyed in the relative peace and quiet of a weekday. Most hikes will be …

If you have an Aussie or Border Collie (and heaven help you if you've got more than one!), you know that they are . . . well . . . as crazy, neurotic, remarkably intelligent, unique, extremely loving & devoted, beautiful, OCD-prone, high energy and intense as their owners. But we love 'em just as much as they love us - quirks and all! PURPOSE: This group was created to provide an opportunity for Aussie & BC owners to meet with each other and their dogs for play dates, walks, hikes, bike rides, t …

This group's name was formally "One hour of Frisbee fun in Bellevue". Having realized that the weather is not always nice and we could do more than just play Frisbee to have fun I decided to change its name. So what's this "new" group about? - Meeting and doing an activity together - Playing Frisbee from time to time - Playing bowling - Going to the movies - A walk in a park - Meeting up and getting to know each other better - Discussion and knowledge sharing sessions - Or anything else membe …

Our group purpose is to help people develop basic mountaineering skills, which will involve class time and field trips.

This Meet up is ideally suited for people having some experience hiking, backpac …

New Year… New Friends… and Just Us Girls... There comes a time in life when you walk away from all the drama and the people who create it. Surround yourself with people who make you laugh, focus on the good, and support each other. Think good thoughts for the ones who don't ~ life is too short to be anything but happy. :-) While there are many other women friendship groups out there, our main focus is getting together to increase our circle of friends and meet some fabulous new girlfriends to fo …

Calling all walkers and hikers who would enjoy company and camaraderie. Our group has proven to be a good place for those who enjoy walking and moderate hiking with conversation and conviviality. Our group does not have a target as to age, relationship status, or fitness level. We typically schedule events during the work day so many of our members have flexible work schedules or do not have jobs. We will probably be scheduling more week-end events during the summer months. We are not a "single …

Welcome to Eastside Women's Social Club, one of the newest Meetup groups dedicated to ladies of the Eastside and Seattle. This group was created for women in their late 20s to late 30s hoping to make new friends who are also in the same phase of life. We aren't in college anymore and we are not yet members of mommy and me play groups- that’s where this group comes in. We are working professionals looking to meet new friends for dining out, potlucks, spa days, wine nights, festivals, shopping, co …

We can do a wide range of things, from meeting at fun parks or going together on short field trips, such as to a museum, a short hike, or to a farm. I am simply interested in fun interaction between the parents and great socialization between the kids at places that are somewhat affordable. We look forward to meeting new …

This is a group for Asian Americans, primarily 20s-30s, who have been immersed in two cultures most of our lives. We are the bi-cultural nomads – too Asian to be accepted as fully American, and too American to be accepted as fully Asian. In this group, we've been there and we get it! Join us for good food (top priority!) and a wide range of other activities -- cross country skiing, snow shoeing, hiking, kayaking, study groups, board games, movie nights, picnics…

Get to know someone and where they’re from, you may actually find them interesting! In this group we will walk, walk-and-run, go on small h …

The goal of this group is for Dads to unite with their little spirited and adventurous toddlers.
