Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle is a meeting in Seattle which often, but not always, takes place on or around the third Tuesday evening of every month. The purpose of the meeting is to socialize, collaborate Wikipedia projects among Seattle-area Wikipedia users, and to share in-person Wikipedia knowledge. The meetup is entirely volunteer run. Meetings are free to attend but you will need to buy your own food and beverages. If you plan to come, please consider putting your name on the list! Drop-ins are also welcome.
Bring blankets or tarps to sit on as there are only two picnic tables!
Sign up here!

Directions
Note that State Route 520 and the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge will be closed all weekend. There is limited parking at the north parking lots near the Arboretum Foundation Building, so taking public transit is strongly recommended.
The nearest bus stops on 24th Avenue East at McGraw Street are a 15-minute walk (0.6 miles) away; a portion of the walking route is unpaved, but there are paved alternatives that take longer. These bus stops are served by King County Metro route 48, which runs every 15 minutes from two light rail stations on the 1 Line: University of Washington and Mount Baker.
Signup
Please indicate what food or drink you plan to bring. Plan on serving at least 8. Frisbees and soccer balls. Do not bring drones or quadcopters.

--Guylaen (talk) 17:03, 4 August 2024 (UTC) I'm confused how the system knew that I was within driving distance, and I'm joyed to see that this event is happening - but since I had to focus on my degree last month, I just don't have any gas money, so I can't make it over the pass.
Guylaen, your IP address is a giveaway to your geographic location. Hope the weather is great and everyone who goes has a great time; I have a family event this weekend, but will try to attend in the future. PNW Raven (talk) 11:28, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
Alas! I will be on an airplane on my way back from Wikimania! Too bad that parts of my wiki-social-life are impeding on other parts! Have a great time everybody and I'll try to catch you at the next one! —mako๛10:15, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
--Guylaen (talk) 01:54, 8 August 2024 (UTC) To amend my above - looks like I'll be in Portland for the launch of my friend's city council campaign on the 10th, and if I can find a place in Portland to crash, I can swing by Seattle on my way back to Ellensburg on the 11th. But I had to borrow money for gas, so I won't be bringing any food if I do come.
Rich1vanwinkle (talk) 22:51, 8 August 2024 (UTC) Would love to come. I am scheduled in Arlington for a basketball tournament and won't know how that progresses until Sunday morning. If the event lasts until 3pm, I may catch it after the "pot luck". Rich
Probably comingPlease say what drink or food you will bring!
Lorenrenee2024 (talk) 18:54, 5 August 2024 (UTC) I have physical limitations due to concussion/injury but my daughter and I will try to attend, I plan to bring a gallon or two of Ice Cream, an ice cream scoop and scoop size paper cups.reply
Caseythedog345 (talk) 05:33, 6 August 2024 (UTC) I'm possibly bringing a friend, will stop at Costco and see what is available. (this is my first time ever interacting with wikipedia stuff other than reading so I'm really confused)reply
Jason Myers 13 (talk) 22:41, 6 August 2024 (UTC) Never been to the Arboretum before. Never been 'invited' by something digital. I could definitely bring cookies, just wondering why Wikipedia had this banner up in the first place to invite me? Ah well. Hoping to solve a mystery of sorts.reply
hi, I believe it had automated scripting set up and Pinged your IP address or was provided your approximate location by your Internet Service Provider or although essentially still your ISP, one could describe as more correctly either your wifi host or your Mobile Data provider, whomever it be whose connection you're on. Systemaddict (talk) 00:36, 11 August 2024 (UTC)reply
Alright! I never offer my editorial or writing services for free, so I was a bit worried that wikipedia was hunting me down for such things. Hope the picnic goes well, but I don't think this event is for me! Jason Myers 13 (talk) 19:33, 11 August 2024 (UTC)reply
I tried to get a feel for the area with a satellite view and "street view" on the many paths, but I wasn't seeing picnic tables in that area. Can you give explicit walking directions from parking and from bus? How far a walk is it from those places? (I have some mobility issues.) 63.231.48.44 (talk) 16:25, 8 August 2024 (UTC)reply
But basically you can park near the Arboretum Foundation building near the north end of the Arboretum, and then walk south on the now-pedestrianized East Arboretum Trail about 200-250 yards. By bus is actually a bit tricky, because the bus doesn't get any closer than 24th Ave E, and the paths through the park aren't too conducive to walking east-west. The best bet is to bus to 24th & McGraw (#43, #48), walk east on E Lynn, cross Arboretum Drive E on the Arboretum Sewer Trestle (a.k.a. Arboretum Aqueduct), keep going east to the area of the Arboretum Foundation building, then turn right (south) along the East Arboretum Trail.
Jmabel | Talk01:06, 9 August 2024 (UTC) + Michelle; we'll bring a few things, but not sure what yet. Do you need any plates, plastic utensils, etc.? (please ping me if responding "yes")reply
Mystical9872 (talk) 21:12, 10 August 2024 (UTC) My mom asked me to help her sign up for this event as she uses this website often and has seen the invitation pop up. I am attending as well. We will be bringing a quinoa salad and veggies.reply
ForestFens (talk) 19:58, 11 August 2024 (UTC) very last-minute signup, will be there within the next hour! I have some store-bought brownies and will swing by the grocery store on my way for group-friendly snacks.reply
Hello! We recently came across your event listing for a summer picnic at the WA Park Arboretum this Sunday. We appreciate your interest in our beautiful Arboretum and your efforts to bring the community together. However, I'm sure you are unaware, but there are specific regulations in place to protect our environment and ensure the enjoyment of all visitors. Unfortunately, there are issues with your event. Specifically:
Drones: While amazing and very popular, Drones are strictly prohibited in the Washington Park Arboretum
Permits: Any organized events must be permitted through Seattle Parks and Recreation. (We have no record of a permit for your event in the current calendar.) A permit is required to reserve any area used for a gathering. Events with short turn around may have challenges getting permitted. Here is parks Permit Process document https://www.seattle.gov/parks/rentals-and-permits/outdoor-event-permits
Please know, If you proceed with the event without obtaining the necessary permits, you will be asked to leave the premises on Sunday.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us preserve the beauty and tranquility of the WA Park Arboretum.
