Hello friends! Welcome to 2026, and welcome to the Go Play NW off-season newsletter!

It's time to pull out those planners and calendars again as we have another Save The Date, this time for our Spring Online event!

Fire up your calendars and brush the dust off your planners, it’s time to save the date for Go Play NW’s Summer in-person event!

Our Seattle Summer 2025 event has come and gone and Games Have Been Played™ with vigor and verve, zines have been crafted with enthusiasm and energy, and many happy memories created for so many of us. Thanks to you, our supporters and attendees, for making this event such a fantastic experience!

Here we go—it’s time for the Seattle Summer in-person event, starting this Friday! We have some important reminders for you.

We're pleased to announce a new feature coming to Go Play NW Seattle Summer 2025: The Zine Zone!

Our Seattle Summer in-person event is now just over a month away! We have some info and reminders for you about game submissions, volunteering, advance ticket sales, and scholarships—let’s dive in!

Together, 83 members helped us raise a total of $11,567 towards our overall budget for the year, ensuring we can hold the Seattle Summer in-person gaming weekend! That includes reaching our goals for outdoor space with more tents, and almost reaching the improved sound baffling curtains goal! If you were hoping we’d get to that last one, fear not—read on about what’s next!
