The Umbrella Gang is the reincarnation of Seattle's previous Queer Urban Alliance for Women, started in 2003 with a thriving community of over 130 women!

We hope to reinvoke the diverse, adventurous, intelligent, and caring community that we built in years past. We are hopeful that with renewed energy and commitment, we can build an even stronger sense of connection and support for lesbian and queer identified women in the Puget Sound area.

The Umbrella Gang will host urban adventures, group discussion series on queer-centered topics, and support circles in addition to celebrating each other's achievements, birthdays, anniversaries, adoptions, transitions, etc.

This is a drop-in group for lesbians interested in extending their friendship circle & having fun. Every week there is a facilitated discussion & lots of outside acitivities.

LYCI is the coordinating body for all of the LYC Chapters
throughout the world and every Chapter is a member.
Other non-LYC groups may be permitted to become members
at the discretion of the LYCI executive committee, but
usually only where the group in question accepts the
principles and objects of the Long Yang Club and fully
supports the LYC network.

LYCI is governed by a written constitution (click here for text of LYCI Constitution) and by-laws. It
is managed by a board of executive officers (click for more info) who are elected annually by the
individual Chapters at the LYCI AGM which is held at the annual convention.

We have members throughout Washington State, as well as British Columbia. We do have some straight members as well. The emphasis is on diving.

We host many local dives. Our members also dive other areas throughout the Pacific Northwest, as well as many warm water locations including Thailand, Mexico, and other areas in the Caribbean.

Our diverse, international membership of over 45 men hails from Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia. Composed of seasoned riders as well as novice, we come from all walks of life and professions.

The Border Riders Motorcycle Club promotes motorcycle safety and education, on safe and legal machinery, following all applicable laws and regulations. We welcome any motorcycle capable of sustained highways
speeds.

BiNet Seattle is a bisexual non-profit, mixed gender, social and support organization created to foster a visible community for bisexual, bi-curious people, and their partners in the Puget Sound area.

To these ends we engage in educational, political, cultural, and social activities as a means of dealing with racism, sexism, ableism, ageism, homophobia, heterophobia, heterosexism, and other forms of discrimination in our communities and in our lives. M.A.C.C.T-Seattle is a local affiliate of the National Association of Black and White Men Together.

Never letting moss grow underfoot, Mature Friends is an active group. From simply playing bridge or pinochle to travel abroad to competing and winning medals in the Gay Games every four years, you’ll surely find an activity to entice you. Remember that large groups have the clout to negotiate lower rates on any kind of activity, from theater tickets to trips overseas. This clout leaves you with more money for shopping, dining in fancy restaurants, or splurging on anything else that appeals to you. And you get the added advantage of enjoying these activities with a ready-made group of people who share your interests.

We have a very diverse group giving us a wonderful collection of personalities and interesting speeches.

Whether it is speaking up at a meeting, voicing a political idea, meeting people for the first time, giving a eulogy, introducing someone on stage or daily social interaction, the skill of speaking in front of a group of people is becoming more important then ever.
