We are thrilled to announce that our final happy hour of the year will be held on Tuesday, December 17th at TeKu Tavern + Cafe in Uptown Seattle from 5:30pm – 7:30pm. No RSVP needed — just bring your ideas and enthusiasm. We’ll pick up a few pizzas from Bambino’s for attendees to snack on midway through.

As we continue to search for a more permanent home for our future monthly meetups, we’re excited to be back at TeKu, which has graciously offered their all-ages space for our December gathering. Urbanist meetups are a great opportunity to network, learn, and share ideas with like-minded folks. Whether you’re interested in transportation, housing, public space, sustainability, equity, or even if you’re new to urbanism, we invite you to join us for an evening of engaging conversation and community building.

We look forward to seeing you there! We’ll have plenty of topics to discuss, including Alexis Mercedes Rinck’s goals for her first year on the Seattle City Council, new leadership for WSDOT and SDOT in 2025, and the comprehensive plan and its implications for our region’s future.
