Gig Harbor here, just moved from VA where we had a very active group of local reefers, looking for the same here. Be nice to have our own forum!

Welcome to the area. I'm Nancy, in Renton, WA. That's on the south eastern edge of Seattle if your not familiar with the region.

There is PNWMAS.org, they meet monthly but are more active in the Portland area. Great events and meetings, they have a Facebook group as well.

We have a pretty active Facebook group. There are a few events coming up in the area as well. There are some great reefers, and some great local vendors, brick & mortar and online who sell locally.

I am new to reef tanks and just starting to get mine setup. Haven't seen much activity here for local activity. However, the Facebook group noted above is pretty active.

Hi from Renton as well. Welcome. This is a great area to be a reefer, great people and great vendors too.

Our area is not very active on this thread. If you are on FB there is an active group there.

As mentioned, PNWMAS is a bit more portland/vancouver/salem (I used to live in Corvallis), and I've been missing them since being up here. I'm just starting to get my little nano-AIO together and planning a big tank, but I'd love to pick up some little frags from some local people in a month or two.
I joined the GSA club on facebook, but it seems like it's 100% planted fresh tank people. I asked a question about lighting for macroalgae (because they should know, right!?) and literally no one said anything.

Maybe this can be a decent place. I'm near Bothell (and work in Bothell). Maybe we can convince someone with a nice tank up here to host a meet and greet up here. I sure will if the new tank ever becomes a reality

 

[chopdrop]

I don't really have anything fraggable that people would want but I would be interested in periodically meeting up with people and buying/selling/trading livestock/equipment and if someone wanted to put the labor in to periodically do lectures or something I would be really curious to attend those as well.

 

[Small triggers]

Dont have a tank currently, I'm on the kitsap peninsula... but I moved from the DC area where we have a HUGE very busy/interactive club (WAMAS) back here and am currently building my house...

 

[burningbaal]

My little 29g is barely starting, not worth hosting yet. Maybe someone on the eastside is willing to host a little get together? I'd suggest the first isn't too formal, though we might offer each other a few frags if we've got coolers (I have no corals yet, so...)

 

[Cmooreinor]

I would be totally into this as well! Too many reefers in the Seattle area to not have an awesome club!

 

[burningbaal]

I'm tempted to just try to put something together... My house would be fine, but my tank isn't interesting...I just got my first frag yesterday. Anyone else up for hosting something?
I wonder if barrier reef or saltwater city or someone would host something?

 

[mar.deezy]

Im interested in this too. I live in lynnwood but my work location goes back and forth between renton/bellevue/and renton

 

[JeffRochon]

Just moved from Renton over to Rainier Valley (not really much of a move, but still). Would love to be able to get involved with some local reefers.

There are a lot of people on the Facebook group "Pacific Northwest Reef Keeping". This forum thread for PNW reefers is relatively inactive and if you want to connect I recommend trying the Facebook group.
