About The Organization

PURPOSE
Seattle Sleepless offers singles in the Puget Sound area an environment for friendships, fun, and adventure, while providing an array of new events and activities in a friendly social atmosphere. Our membership is especially for the 40+ age range.

HOW DID SEATTLE SLEEPLESS SINGLES BEGIN?
The 1993 movie "Sleepless in Seattle" inspired a well-known Seattle columnist, Erik Lacitis, to write a series in The Seattle Times about being single in Seattle. This generated an overwhelming response by single people looking for new ways of getting together. Our first major event was a dance called "Solo No More in 1994" with 1,000 singles attending. Seattle Sleepless has since become one of the strongest and most successful non-profit singles organization in the Seattle area.

COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS:

• "On my first visit to Saturday Coffee, I immediately felt relieved and welcomed by the fun atmosphere. The room was full of friendly people, sharing exciting activities and just visiting in a social setting. I knew right away I would return."

• "I really like the Saturday Coffee meetings because the emphasis is on having fun and being social. What a great way to meet others for planning activities like movies, dining, sports, the arts…you name it. I have experienced new activities which I would not have taken the initiative to do alone."

• "Being a quiet guy, I found it refreshing and comforting to have women approach and welcome me into the group by initiating the conversation."

• "At Seattle Sleepless I am finding many choices of things to do - why did I wait so long to take this step to join in on the fun?"
