In-Person Crafternoon Seattle March 2026

Join Queer Scouts Seattle for an in-person, masked, outdoor craft time/queer stitch & bitch in the Central District. Bring your cross-stitch, sketches, knitting, sewing, or other art/craft to work on while chatting. Want to learn a new craft? Contact us--we might be able to group you with scouts who know that craft! This event will be outdoors and socially distanced. Exact event location details will be in your confirmation email. 

Please note: Queer Scouts is a substance-free group. Please do not drink alcohol, smoke, or otherwise partake during this event.

CANCELLATIONS:

You may cancel your ticket and receive a refund up to one hour before the event. We will keep all transaction fees and any remaining funds you paid will be returned to the original payment method. There is no shame for a last minute cancellation, but we sometimes have waitlists and cancelling tickets allows us to free up spots for others.

ACCESSIBILITY TRANSPARENCY:

Physical: 

The entrance to the venue is on a steep hill, but if you need an accessible entrance with less incline, please contact Lauren and we will arrange to let you in through the garage/elevator or we can arrange for a driver to drive you to the top of the hill.

Sensory:

Since we will be outdoors on a terrace with umbrellas, please bring anything you need to be comfortable: a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, jacket, water, a cushion, etc. There are wrought-iron seats with and without arms, and they are quite hard. In case of inclement weather, we will move inside the building and open the doors/windows.

Immune System Safety:

Queer Scouts understands that the Covid-19 vaccine is not currently accessible to everyone. The Washington State Department of Health has issued a standing order to allow healthcare providers and pharmacists in WA to administer Covid vaccines to anyone age 6mo+. The vaccine is covered by WA Apple Health Medicaid and many other insurance plans. Queer Scouts recognizes that some insurance plans may not cover the vaccine at this time, which has led to inequal access. We are temporarily removing the requirement for vaccination at our in-person events. If you are physically and financially able to be vaccinated, we STRONGLY ENCOURAGE getting an updated dose of the 2025-26 Covid vaccine.  Plan to be masked with an n95/kn95+ at all times; if you need to drink or eat something, please step away from the group. We have 16 tickets for Scouts, plus will have our Crafternoon leaders, Marlowe and Lauren, for a total of 18.

Financial:

This event is FREE for all attendees. Attendees provide their own crafting materials. If you'd like to make a donation, follow the directions later in the ticket process. Feel free to donate as little or as much as you are able. Donations support us in continuing to make Queer Scouts programming available & accessible to everyqueer.
