A community of readers
& cozy reading nooks
in West Seattle and White Center.

First Thursdays from 7 - 9pm

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.

Upcoming Gatherings

Lisa Fieldson

"Some readers come alone to silently read in a cozy environment, some readers come with their friends to connect over reading together, and some readers come intentionally to meet new people who have a shared love of reading. We love seeing the variety of reasons readers are drawn to this community."
