We read at various coffee shops, bars, and wine tasting rooms throughout West Seattle and White Center on the first Thursday of each month. The agenda: bring your own book, read for an hour, then optionally, chat with fellow book lovers. We began in 2022 as a Silent Book Club chapter, with friends and neighbors reading together and connecting over a shared love of books. Since then, we’ve grown as a community but continue to foster cozy spaces to read and connect.
