A Website for Men in the Greenwood and All Other Seattle Neighborhoods

We invite you to join us!  This site is an online gathering place for men in the Greenwood and other Seattle neighborhoods to stay in touch, get information, share thoughts and build a better community.

The Greenwood Men's Group

The Greenwood Men's Group is the predominant group of senior men in the Seattle area.  Their intention is to:

• create an environment that fosters a strong sense of community,
• promote relationship-building,
• encourage trust and communication,
• support physical well-being, and
• facilitate personal growth among older men.

The group's mission is to provide a supportive and inclusive environment in which men from diverse backgrounds can foster camaraderie, develop friendship, share wisdom, enrich one another's lives and contribute to the community.  And have some fun!

Greenwood Men's Group Meeting in Greenwood Park on a Gorgeous Day

They have a mix of physical and non-physical activities, either indoors or outdoors, depending partly on the weather. The group likes to be outside if the weather is favorable.

The non-physical activities are generally a variety of discussion topics. Sometimes a member will do a presentation based on their career or life experience, or they will have someone from the outside come in to give a talk or demonstration. If the weather is poor, they may play indoor games or perhaps have a discussion or presenter.

They take occasional field trips to any local destination that strikes their interest, whether museums, parks or any unusual destination within reach.

In terms of physical activity, there are walks in local parks, along the beach, and local neighborhoods. They regularly play pickleball and bocce ball -- or sometimes play ping pong or cornhole. Other outdoor activities such as kayaking are additional activities.

The group will do volunteer work.

This is a diverse group in terms of abilities, interests and backgrounds. The age range of the group is 50-90. Although most of the men are older, this group welcomes men of any age.

The group grows and changes according to what the members want. Nothing is set in stone. So if you have any ideas or suggestions, they hope to hear from you.

The Greenwood Men's Group generally does something once a week, usually on Mondays. The duration of an event typically ranges from 1.5 – 2 hours. They may occasionally have a longer event or have it on a different day.

They have a long list of possible activities, events and discussion topics. An email bulletin is put out about once a week to give everyone a heads-up on what's upcoming.

There is no cost for most of their events. If there is a cost, it is minimal.
