If you care for either of those, try Redmond-based hackerspace Black
Lodge Research, BlackLodgeResearch.org. Unscheduled Open Hack Nights
Thursdays 7pm, and often monthly DC206 (local DEF CON community) Meeting
one Sunday/month. Bsides Seattle organizers are BLR regulars. Community
hangs out on DC206.org-hosted mailing list.

UW's Capture-the-Flag team, Batman's Kitchen, has a public mailing list,
and their weekly training events are open to the public.
Infosec-centric. Kindof like a weekly bsides each quarter.

Try TA3M Seattle, Techno-Activism 3rd Mondays. Takes place on 3rd
Mondays, most months, usually at UW CSE bldg. Nice cross-section of
multiple activist-centric groups, ACLU-WA and other political-centric
speakers most focusing on technology (often secure communications,
etc.). They also host a few cryptoparties/year, usually also on 3rd
Mondays.

Also look into Seattle Privacy Coalition, SeattlePrivacy.org. Very
involved with privacy/security-centric politics for seattle.gov. Some
overlap between TA3M Seattle and SPC.
