Club Meetings

Hi-Laker meetings are open to the public and visitors are warmly welcome!

The Hi-Lakers meet the third Wednesday of each month from 7 – 9  p.m. We are currently meeting online via Zoom and in person on certain months.

Typically, a short business meeting is followed by a program.

The Hi-Lakers welcome all genders, races and ethnicities. Learn about membership benefits and join here. Questions about the Hi-Lakers or becoming a member? Please contact Anson Evans, chair of  the new member committee, newmembers@hilakers.org

Upcoming Programs

Join us Wednesday the 23rd in-person for the September meeting. 

We’ll begin at 7:00 PM with club business before moving on to our featured program – Summer trip reports

Meeting Venue – Come hang out with us for drinks and food at one of Seattle’s award-winning breweries! It’s the perfect chance to reconnect with fellow members, meet new friends, and enjoy a relaxed evening together. The club’s picking up the tab for food, so come hungry.

Everyone who shows up gets free Hi-Lakers membership for 2027.

This is our only in-person meeting of the remaining year, and it won’t be on Zoom—so don’t miss it!

📍Ghostfish Brewing Company, 2942 1st Ave. S, Seattle, WA 98134
