Welcome
to Seattle.

Your adventure starts here.

In Seattle, the coffee is strong and the possibilities are endless. But we know that starting fresh in a new city can be as daunting as it is exciting. Whether it's finding people with shared interests, knowing where to get the best taco, or simply finding a friendly face in a crowd—settling in takes a village.

Join us for a Seattle Welcome Day—a monthly interactive, community-driven event to help you create your vision for life in Seattle and connect with others who share your interests and goals.
