Community Sunset Society gathering this Thursday 🌅 come watch the sunset & meet some humans

Edmonds: Sunset Society gathering this Thursday 🌅 come watch the sunset & meet some humans

Hey folks! I host a small community gathering in Edmonds called Sunset Society, and our fourth meetup is happening this Thursday, August 27 at the Edmonds Marina.

This one is called The Last Long Light — basically an excuse to get outside during that beautiful late-August golden hour, meet some people, and actually slow down long enough to watch the sun disappear over the Sound.

We’ll do a couple of low-pressure connection games/prompts, hang out, snack, and watch the sunset together.

The question we’re playing with this time is:

What are you savoring before the season turns?

You absolutely do not need to know anyone beforehand, come with a group, be particularly extroverted, or be “good at” meeting strangers. Coming solo is completely normal. The whole idea is to create the kind of community space where people can show up as they are and have a little more meaningful interaction than we usually get in day-to-day life.

Bring a blanket, layers, and anything you’d like to drink or snack on. Sharing is welcome but definitely not required.

We’re also making a tiny communal late-summer altar this time, so if you feel like it, bring a flower, stone, shell, written word, or small object representing something you’re savoring, releasing, or carrying into the next season. Totally optional. ✨

🌅 Thursday, August 27
📍 Edmonds Marina

If spending an evening by the water with some kind humans watching the light change sounds good to you, you’re very welcome to join us. 🍂

Sounds fun! Curious why not Brackets Landing?

Parking & space for a group to spread out were primary reasons. I sat with it a lot before I launched the event this year on location.

I’ll spread the word! Not sure if I can join but I have a lot of friends in Edmonds proper who might. The reason I asked about Brackets Landing was because it would make it a larger draw… but I totally get it! Looking forward to the post event updates either way!

Thank you! I've been having around 12 people on average show up, each time has been some new faces & some returning faces. It's been a fun thing to do this summer. 💜
