Heading to the West Seattle Urbanism weekly meetup? It runs Wednesday evenings at Elliott Bay Brewing on California Avenue, and the next one falls on Wednesday, September 23 at 6:00 PM. Camp West is 0.10 miles up the same street, so a table around 4:00 PM means dinner first and a two minute walk after.
Plan your evening around the meetup
The group meets from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM to talk about how West Seattle is built and what is being proposed next: housing, transit, the light rail alignment, street design, whatever is live that week. It is an open meetup rather than a members club, and turning up is all that is asked of you.
Because it runs two hours and ends at 8:00 PM, dinner before works better than dinner after. If you would rather eat afterwards, Camp West serves until 9:00 PM on Wednesdays and happy hour starts again at 8:00 PM. Here is the walk from Camp West to Elliott Bay Brewing.
Getting to Elliott Bay Brewing
Elliott Bay Brewing is at 4720 California Avenue SW, a two minute walk south from Camp West at 4539. Both are in the Junction, so the same street parking serves either one, and the C Line and the Junction bus stops are a block away.
