What we’re about
This group is for any Seattlelite who could use more friends and wants to meet new people in a relaxed, social environment.
This group was born out of the frustration that can come with trying to break into new friend groups in Seattle.
A new comer to Seattle opened this group and after meeting a few Seattle natives and lovers of all things planning a beautiful friendship was born. Thus, The Seattle Thaw was born!
This group is for anyone who wants to meet other people from all walks of life while doing fun things around Seattle. Whether it's hitting a bar, a park, a restaurant, or other fun venue, this group is designed to do one thing only: Help everyone make more friends!
The plan is to fill this group with people from all walks of life, so it can be as rich as possible. With that said, I plan on hosting fun events & if you're willing to help me bring the thaw, we can tackle this together!
So if you've been looking for a place to meet new people, in a welcoming group that's run by someone who is hell-bent on growing it, look no further!
