The Seattle Tacoma Widows and Widowers Meetup

Meet with other local Widows, Widowers, and all those who have lost their significant others. This meetup will look for opportunities for social activities and informal meetups to get together.

A lending library of books and resources is available. Each member is encouraged to add to the list and/or donate books to share.

This is not counseling, but a way to share our stories and triumphs.

...FYI---This meetup will soon REPLACE the WA Widow(er)s~ BeS.C.E.N.E.(Single, Courageous, Empowered..) Meetup. There was too much confusion created by the name as well as the mailing list address accidentally set up as singleparents.

Location: Seattle, WA 98198 47.41-122.31 98198US
Founded: May 9, 2008
