SEATTLE CREATES x New Tech Northwest Monthly Social - May 2026

Join SEATTLE CREATES at New Tech Northwest’s monthly meetup—a casual hang where creative + tech folks come together to see what’s actually happening around the city.
If you’re into art, design, dev, startups—or just curious—you’ll be in good company. It’s an easy space to meet people, learn something new, and tap into the creative energy shaping Seattle right now.

We show up here because it’s where ideas cross over. Design thinking, innovation, S.T.E.A.M.—it all lives in the same room. Our role is to help connect those dots and bring more creatives into the mix.

You’ll find us during the opening networking hour, hosting interactive S.T.E.A.M. moments that make the connection between art + tech feel real. Think digital art, AR/VR, fashion, projection, sound—different entry points into the same creative process.

Nothing too formal—just good people, good ideas, and space to explore.
