What we’re about
Welcome to the Official Drone Club of the Northwest!
This group is for everyone from the newcomer to the established professional, so don't be afraid to stop by and say hello here, or at any of our events!
We also run a FB group for those that feel it is easier than Meetup, and you can find it here:

The purpose of the Official Drone Club of the Northwest is to:
A. Bring like minded people interested in drones together
B. Educate each other and the public on the ever changing drone laws and technology landscape
C. Enjoy networking and talking with other enthusiasts
D. To be a resource of drone information for everyone from the common civilian or startup business owner through the most extreme politicians and most professional pilots and businesses.
E. To give back to the community
The group is run by industry professionals and also has a close knit administrative group comprised of professionals and extreme enthusiasts, so you can be sure to find plenty of information and interesting conversation! So, if you want to learn about drones, fly with friends, talk about the industry, or even just hangout and watch... This is the place to be!
Our events will start taking place primarily in the Puget Sound region of Washington, but will be stretching further out into Washington as the year progresses. Next year, we will be stretching into Oregon and a little Idaho, with a background goal of providing the first Northwestern Drone Festival in 2024! Keep an eye out for the next event near you!
We look forward to meeting you, so come say hi at our next event and have some fun... And of course bring a drone, if you want to! ;-)
(PSA: At our events ALL FAA drone laws are to be followed, including LAANC authorizations and flying over people and / or vehicles. This is to be a friendly and inviting atmosphere... Not one of a bunch of terrifying hooligans! Plus no one wants any injuries, to people OR property. Rules will be again and more clearly per event.)
