Welcome to Seattle's Kink Scene!

Join us in the exciting world of Seattle kink at Fresh Meet, an energetic and welcoming event designed to connect newcomers and experienced players. 

Fresh Meet is the ideal party for kink-curious individuals, newcomers to the CSPC community, and those looking to expand their kinky network, offering a unique combination of socializing, atmosphere, play, and introductory experiences across a diverse range of kink interests.

The Vibe:
Upstairs, reminiscent of a sober cocktail party, with fun and sexy background music, ambient lighting, and friendly conversations happening throughout the venue in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Downstairs, our dedicated playspace with equipment set up and ready for action!

The Party:

• Play & Socializing (8:00 PM - Midnight): Enjoy the rich setting of the Gallery Erato, a historic Pioneer Square venue featuring two floors of play and mingle space. Relax on comfy couches and chat with fellow attendees, explore the rotating erotic art exhibits, or head to dedicated play space in the basement.

• Kink Tastings (8:30 PM - 10:30 PM): Dip your toes into a variety of kinky experiences with tastings led by our organization-approved, experienced members. Sample a range of play types, including electro, impact play (flogging, canes), cupping, rope, sensation play and more!. Each tasting begins with a consent negotiation to ensure your comfort and safety.

• Make Connections: Break the ice and discover new connections through our fun and engaging icebreaker activities. To kickstart mutual connections and play, use our pick-up play board to indicate your interests and find others seeking similar experiences.

Parking:

• Gallery Erato is located at 309 1st Ave S. in Pioneer Square. There is a pay parking lot along our north wall. Less expensive options are available a few blocks away.

• Street parking is free after 6 p.m., and there are many paid parking lots and garages within a few block radius.

• This neighborhood is very well served by public transportation, including many bus lines, the streetcar, and the Pioneer Square LINK light rail station which is two blocks to the east.

• We are located very close to the stadiums, and parking becomes more difficult and expensive when there are games, concerts, or other events happening in the neighborhood. Plan accordingly for driving time and parking arrangements. 

Accessibility:

• There is a small lip from the brick sidewalk into the Gallery. We have a non-permanent wheelchair ramp to transition over this lip so that the main floor of our space is accessible to folks in wheelchairs. Please let us know when you arrive if you need the ramp.

• There is play space, refreshments, and restrooms on the main floor. Please note that some events reserve parts of the main floor for social activities or “lights on” time and therefore may not have as much play space

• The basement, which has additional play space and restrooms, is only accessible by stairs

• Restrooms are gender neutral, and can be found on both floors

• This is not a scent-free space
