Drinking Liberally Seattle Chapter Blog

Please join us tonight for another evening of politics under the influence at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking liberally. Tonight we'll go out of our way to ignore the Oregon primary, given that the presidential primaries are settled and there isn't even a Senate or gubernatorial race happening. But there is plenty of local, regional and national politics to keep us engaged for the evening.

We meet every Tuesday at the Montlake Ale House, 2307 24th Avenue E. Starting time is 8:00pm, but a few folks show up earlier for dinner.

Notice: Transpartisan Alliance Monthly Salon for May is "Earth's Natural Resources: Power Down, Power Up, Power Over or Power With?" It's this Wednesday, May 16, 6:30-9:30 PM in the Conference Room, Intiman Theater, Seattle Center. Panelists are Derik Andreoli-Energy Transitions Northwest (ETNW), David Wright-BCRA Design/Co-Founder-Sustainable Ballard, Rick Forschler-SeaTac City Council, and Joe Tomlinson-Physicist/Independent Researcher.

Can't make it to Seattle tonight? There are other DL meetings this week. The Tri-Cities chapter of Drinking liberally meets every Tuesday night. Drinking Liberally Tacoma meets this Thursday.

Next Monday there are meetings of the Olympia, Yakima, and Shelton chapters.

With 232 chapters of Living Liberally, including twelve in Washington state and six more in Oregon, chances are excellent there's a chapter near you.
