Get ready for the 8th semi-annual #smkmeetup

Join us for a casual day in a keyboard petting zoo. There will be hundreds of keyboards to type on and talk about. Come for the keyboards; stay for the community.

We will also have keyboard soldering workshops! More details coming soon (if you RSVP, we will email you once workshop registration is available).

Bring your own mechanical keyboard(s) and receive free admission to the Living Computers Museum + Labs. The museum generously provides the space for everyone to meetup, share, and socialize over keyboards. In exchange, we provide the museum with a quasi-pop-up keyboard exhibit. If you don't have a keyboard to show off in the petting zoo, you will need to pay admission once you arrive at the museum (the museum is totally worth it).

Location

Living Computers: Museum + Labs

2245 1st Avenue South

Seattle, WA 98134

Museum/Meetup Admission

With Keyboard & RSVP RSVP Required Without Keyboard* $22.00

* If you RSVP and bring a keyboard, the museum will admit you for free because you are an "exhibitor" of keyboards at the museum for the day. This event is public, so anyone can attend without an RSVP. But without an RSVP and keyboard, museum entry fee or museum membership will be required.

Parking

The Living Computer Museum has limited parking available in their parking lot. Street parking should be free. There are plenty of paid parking options as well.

Public Transportation

According to the Living Computers website:

The primary bus routes near Living Computers: Museum + Labs are 21, 594, 132, 106, 50, 102, 590, and 116. You can also use the Metro Transit Trip Planner to find a bus route.

You may also find suggestions for Seahawks games useful, however you will be a few blocks away from the museum if you follow Century Link Field directions completely.

We are a volunteer run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our purpose is to address, educate, and coordinate the dispersal of soldering and electrical hardware skills and knowledge across age and socioeconomic divides while inspiring enthusiasm for mechanical keyboards and other input devices.

We teach hardware and programming workshops in the Greater Seattle Area.
