The focus of this group is being outdoors with your dogs! Primarily the meetups will be for walks and hikes.  Some dog-centric events like Dog-a-thon will be scheduled, too.  And a few dog-park meetups. I try to post "notes" for other local events that might be of interest:  bring-your-dog events, outdoor safety  classes, outdoor gear sales (like at REI), etc. If anyone is interested in leading an event, let me know!  I am happy to share the group with everyone. See you on the trail! Diana (and …

I've done some exploring and there are three major dog parks in the Kitsap County area that could be good for meet-ups with our dogs: Silverdale Dog Park, Howe Farm …

Pom Pals vision is a pack of Poms playgroup! Fun for the Poms and their 'pals' (that's us). Aside from the cute factor that a pack of Poms running around together certainly is, is the need for our Poms to have other dogs their size to socialize with.

(West Seattle) Members are free to suggest new Meetup d …

Welcome to the Midweek Hiking Meetup Group. As the name implies, hikes will be offered only on weekdays, never on Saturdays or Sundays.  If you are retired (like me), have some weekdays off, or just get sick a lot on sunny work days, then this is the group for you.
