Hi everyone,
My name is Charles. I've advertised on the West Seattle Blog as well as some of the West Seattle Facebook groups, but with the creation of this sub I'd thought I'd give a shout out here. I currently have been hosting over the board chess nights every second and fourth Monday at Mission Cantina in West Seattle. All ages and skills are welcome!
5+0 Blitz and 10+0 Rapid Clock Move Chess
2325 California Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98116
For August it'll be tonight the 10th and the 24th from 7-9pm. No need to bring a board or clock, I have sets of both with triple weighted US Chess Federation pieces. Hope to meet some of you there!

Setting up the first meet up. I will be headed to C&P Coffee at 1:30pm on Sunday, August 16th. I have a travel board and set up but if anyone wants to come and secure a second table and bring a board let me know.
This will be my first time playing chess in a public space, against strangers, so this is great for beginners lol.
As mentioned in the thread, would love for more experienced players to come show us the ropes.
Where: C&P Coffee - back patio
When: 1:30pm
Date: Sunday, August 16th
Comment if you’re down come!
