Networking Events in Bellingham

This structured event is all about connection. It's fun. And surprising. And weird! And real. Let's be open and curious and kind. This event is for you! Wanna know what it would look like if an artist came up with an antidote to cruise-y bar scenes and soulless dating apps? Come find out! What if I'm gay? That's great! This event is not just for straight people. Aw, I do want love, but I'm too old. No you're not!!! This event draws adults of all ages. Are you nervous? It's okay. Me, too. Let's be nervous together. This structured event -- held at and in collaboration with WinkWink! -- is not about scrolling and swiping and making snap judgements based solely on physical appearance. This event is about being open enough to see each other's humanity. You might meet your new boo! Or you might not. You might meet your new bestie or protest buddy. Or you might just leave feeling more connected to your community and more connected to yourself. Located at WInkWink Boutique 1302 Commercial St Bellingham Some things to know: The space is wheelchair accessible. Lights stay up during the event so that we can read things like each other's name tags! We've got chairs with no arm rests and a couple of sofas. It can get pretty loud with everyone talking at the same time during our small group conversations. Good to know if you're sound sensitive! Bring a notebook! Are there other accommodations you need?
