ITT: A disturbing lack of people requesting a Seattle meetup!
I have a small group of founders I could likely convince to join. Anybody have any venues they would recommend? I've found Optimism to be pretty great

Not going to lie, as someone currently living in Seattle, the lack of people from here requesting a meetup is the most unsurprising thing in this thread.
Add lots of tech people to the mix, a lot of whom would already be a bit predisposed and comfortable with such behaviors, and it gets even worse. Not trying to cast shade on anyone here, I am one of those "predisposed" people myself.
Over the past 4 years, almost all of my closest friends left the city (3 non-locals, 1 who was born and raised here; out of those 4, I only knew 1 non-local prior to moving here) and moved to NYC, and they all couldn't be happier with their decision, years later.
Trust me, I love my alone time and can go without interacting with people outside for days without feeling bad about it at all. But even for me, Seattle feels more suffocating than literally any other major city I've ever been in. Luckily, not staying here for much longer.
Message the organizer and post it here too please.
Unicorn start up and all that jazz. Likely they will want someone to give a short spiel.
