We will have snacks, coffee and tea to entice you to join us! Bring your ideas, calendars & any hiking books you may have on hand.

    Storytelling Salon

    Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

    Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    Seasoned Souls | Pilot Event

    I'm reading "The Seasoned Soul, Reflections on Growing Older," by Eliza Blanchard, a Unitarian minister, and it seems well suited to a small discussion group. Not so much a book club, but it's a collection of readings any one of which could spark a lively and soul-touching discussion - the kind of sharing that grows trust and deep friendships. I would love to connect in this way with a group of women who could grow together in this exploration. This first meeting is to see the level of interest and decide on logistics going forward. If there is a lot of interest, we can form several small, local groups. I'd love for you to join me!

    Storytelling Salon

    Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

    Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    Storytelling Salon

    Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

    Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    Birthday and Bubbles

    Birthday and Bubbles is a fun celebration of our members' birthdays 4 times a year. We gather in a small, informal setting to enjoy each other’s company and celebrate members who were born in the current month and quarter before. All are invited to come (whether it is your birthday quarter or not) and join in the fun. If you are a new member, and we have many new members, don't be shy, come celebrate with us – it is a great way to get to know each other better in a smaller setting.

    Host Susan Handley kicks things off at 12 PM sharp! She’s providing the mimosas (and assorted other beverages) and the cake—all you have to do is show up for the fun!

    Please bring a SMALL appetizer to share (yes, even if it is your birthday!). Please plan to pack up and take home any of your extra food.

    Storytelling Salon

    Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

    Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    Storytelling Salon

    Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

    Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    Building Access:

    Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

    Parking Options:

    Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

    Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

    Bellevue Square Mall: Free

    Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

    Carpooling is recommended.

    Storytelling Salon

    Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

    Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    Building Access:

    Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

    Parking Options:

    Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

    Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

    Bellevue Square Mall: Free

    Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

    Carpooling is recommended.

    Storytelling Salon

    Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

    Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    Building Access:

    Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

    Parking Options:

    Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

    Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

    Bellevue Square Mall: Free

    Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

    Carpooling is recommended.

    Storytelling Salon

    Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

    Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    Building Access:

    Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

    Parking Options:

    Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

    Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

    Bellevue Square Mall: Free

    Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

    Carpooling is recommended.

    Storytelling Salon

    Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

    Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    Building Access:

    Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

    Parking Options:

    Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

    Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

    Bellevue Square Mall: Free

    Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

    Carpooling is recommended.

    Storytelling Salon

    Storytelling Salon is an interest group for members to socialize and share stories with one another. We start with a happy hour with hors d’oeuvres and beverages (bring your favorite to share), and then we move into our stories. Whether you prefer to read your story or present it without notes, you’ll have an opportunity to share whatever your heart desires, including tales of lost love, wild times, and strange people!

    Fashioned after The Moth events, speakers have just five minutes to present. But instead of voting for winners (which happens at The Moth events), listeners just offer up their compliments about content, craft, and delivery. At the end of each session, we spend a few minutes discussing a particular aspect of craft.

    These events are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6pm in the private dining room of Bellevue Towers except during winter months (Jan-Apr) when we meet on Zoom.

    Building Access:

    Enter Bellevue Towers at Retail Parking/Residential Amenities entrance on 106th NE behind the red art sculpture. Please arrive promptly at 6:00 pm and you will be met there and escorted to the private Community Dining room on the 5th floor. If you are late, text Gail Kretchmer at 425-495-3724.

    Parking Options:

    Bellevue Park Plaza (outdoors): 560 106th Ave NE, across from Bellevue Towers entrance, Evening rate $5.00

    Lincoln Square South: 405 105th Ave NE, two blocks from Bellevue Towers entrance. Free if departing after 8pm

    Bellevue Square Mall: Free

    Limited street parking is available. Note that retail parking is also available at Bellevue Towers but it’s expensive ($20 for 2-6 hours).

    Carpooling is recommended.

    Come As You Are & Chat


    Join us any Tuesday on Zoom at 10:30 AM and chat about whatever is on our minds. From vacations to art to everyday life, our conversation is not structured at all. It's amazing how many topics we discuss and what we learn from one another. We always end the session with a smile!

    No registration or RSVP is needed – just drop in! We'll be happy to see you.
