                          The Eastside Book Group is relatively new and is seeking new members.  We meet at the Bellevue Library in a study room, so acoustics are very good; we meet from 11:30-1:30 to avoid traffic.  Food and beverages are allowed.  We are in process of choosing books for future months, but mostly we like award winners that are 2-3 years old (so available through the public library).  Discussion leaders rotate, giving each person a chance to direct discussion.  We hope you will consider joining us!

                          See our Book Groups Reading List to find out what we'll be reading in coming months.

                                      • The first person on the list will be automatically registered.
                                      • She will receive an email with the subject line "Event Registration Confirmed." Please check daily – it could arrive anytime up to the event. The host gets a copy too.
                                      • If you are waitlisted and cannot attend, please remove yourself from the waitlist so the next person on the list can move up. To remove yourself from the waitlist, open your profile and view My Event Registrations. Waitlist events display with a 'Remove' link under the Status column. After removing yourself from the waitlist, you and the event host will receive cancellation notices.

                                      Seattle Happy Hour Encore

                                      Due to popular demand, the Seattle Happy Hour Encore group is welcome to Members only to enjoy Happy Hour at a local favorite,  Stanford's Northgate, a classic American Steakhouse. Since 2019, it has been part of a Black- and female-led restaurant group based in Bellevue.

                                      We kindly request that members register for either the Seattle Happy Hour or the Seattle Happy Hour Encore events, but not both, to ensure that those who cannot attend the first can join the Encore event. 

                                      Additionally, we would like to invite volunteers to be greeters at future events. Since the group meets just once a month, the greeter’s role is to arrive a little early, let the restaurant know we’re the Newcomers Group, and welcome participants as they arrive. That’s it! Bridget and DeAnna have already taken care of all the planning and logistics.

                                      NOTE:  This is a new Interest Group.  To receive notices about this group, please be sure to add it on your profile.

                                      Parking:  There is plenty of free parking here!

                                          We will not meet on December 25 due to holidays

                                          Social Bridge for players who have a little bit of knowledge of the game. We have lots of fun connecting with friends and enjoying the game. Keeping score is just to keep us on track. If we have an odd number of players, we rotate every 4 games.  

                                          We play the 2nd Tuesday and 4th Thursday each month and welcome new players with some experience of the game. Generally on 2nd Tuesdays the group meets at a location in West Seattle, and 4th Thursdays at a location in Seattle.  Whoever hosts provides snacks and beverages. Register by two days before the game. 

                                          Email Gini Dold if you are interested in joining the Bridge group, or if you have questions, call Gini Dold 650-483-9837 or email at ginidold@hotmail.com.

                                            Social Bridge for players who have a little bit of knowledge of the game. We have lots of fun connecting with friends and enjoying the game. Keeping score is just to keep us on track. If we have an odd number of players, we rotate every four games.

                                            Storytelling Salon

                                            Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

                                            Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

                                            These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

                                            Bring your own morning beverage or buy a coffee at EWC’s Common Grounds coffee bar. Let’s meet in the Banquet Room where we can get to know one another while enjoying the magnificent waterfront view.

Seals and sea lions have been spotted recently! You may even want to take a ferry ride to Kingston on a nice day. Walk on fees are $5.10 for seniors (65 & over), $10.25 for younger folks.

                                            Storytelling Salon

                                            Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

                                            Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

                                            These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

                                            Storytelling Salon

                                            Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

                                            Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

                                            These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

                                            We play the 2nd Tuesday and 4th Thursday each month and welcome new players with some experience of the game. Generally on 2nd Tuesdays the group meets at a location in West Seattle, and 4th Thursdays at Greenlake Library. Register online by two days before the game.

                                            Storytelling Salon

                                            Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

                                            Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

                                            These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

Seals and sea lions have been spotted recently! You may even want to take a ferry ride to Kingston on a nice day. Walk on fees are $5.10 for seniors (65 & over), $10.25 for younger folks.

                                            Storytelling Salon

                                            Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

                                            Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

                                            These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

                                            Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

                                            Storytelling Salon

                                            Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

                                            Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

                                            These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

                                            Building Access:

                                            Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

                                            Parking Options:

                                            Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

                                            Social Bridge for players who have a little bit of knowledge of the game. We have lots of fun connecting with friends and enjoying the game. Keeping score is just to keep us on track. If we have an odd number of players, we rotate every 4 games.  

                                            We play the 2nd Tuesday and 4th Thursday each month and welcome new players with some experience of the game. Generally on 2nd Tuesdays the group meets at a location in West Seattle, and 4th Thursdays at Greenlake Library. Register online by two days before the game.

                                            Storytelling Salon

                                            Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

                                            Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

                                            These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

                                            Building Access:

                                            Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

                                            Parking Options:

                                            Storytelling Salon

                                            Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

                                            Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

                                            These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

                                            Building Access:

                                            Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

                                            Social Bridge for players who have a little bit of knowledge of the game. We have lots of fun connecting with friends and enjoying the game. Keeping score is just to keep us on track. If we have an odd number of players, we rotate every four games.  

                                            We play the 2nd Tuesday and 4th Thursday each month and welcome new players with some experience of the game. Generally on 2nd Tuesdays the group meets at a location in West Seattle, and 4th Thursdays at a location in Seattle. Register online by two days before the game.

                                            Storytelling Salon

                                            Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

                                            Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

                                            These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

                                            Building Access:

                                            Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

                                            Parking Options:

                                            Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

                                            Storytelling Salon

                                            Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

                                            Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

                                            These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

                                            After coffee, you’re on your own to have lunch in the Banquet Room (you can sign up for the lunch program), buy a snack at Common Grounds, and/or take a walk along the waterfront. Seals and sea lions have been spotted recently! You may even want to take a ferry ride to Kingston on a nice day. Walk on fees are $5.10 for seniors (65 & over), $10.25 for younger folks.

Seals and sea lions have been spotted recently! You may even want to take a ferry ride to Kingston on a nice day. Walk on fees are $5.10 for seniors (65 & over), $10.25 for younger folks.
