jerseystyle Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Hello All, So I have finished my family's move to Seattle (Redmond). Fun! I know there are quite a few good retro game stores in the area, but I was wondering if there are any good retro meet ups/hang out opportunities? I have signed up to a few Facebook groups and am eager to actually meet up with people in the community after 17 years overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about any meetups but did you join the group called "Greater Seattle Area Retro Gamers" ? Seems like a good place to start. They do scheduled claim sales, Tuesdays they focus on trades, Thursdays they focus on In search of posts, and I've met people by selling or buying items.

HoshiChiri Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Sadly, most Seattle area events are still shut down for covid concerns- and honestly, our retro shows are pretty small given how many game stores we have around here! But! Renton City Retro is currently planning to move forward this year, with the event scheduled on August 14th. Their website is out of date (the guy who runs it is on vacation, I guess?) You should be able to buy passes at the door, but here's the eventbrite link they're using right now: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/renton-city-retro-tickets-162196864187 And their Facebook page, which is updating: https://m.facebook.com/RentonCityRetro/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
