Seattle, we love you! And we love that you showed us the love Tuesday night at Greendrinks.
Our event at the LEED-designed Veer Lofts in South Lake Union drew some 450 Greendrinkers excited about catching up with old friends, mingling with new ones, and sharing green ideas and good times with all.
Generous donations from Pizza Fusion, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, Snoqualmie Wines, Guayaki Teas, Clif Bar, Essential Baking Company, and Full Circle Farm provided sustainable (and delectable) sustenance—and kept the crowd buzzing.
We also had photographers roaming the scene, asking Greendrinkers to hold up signs showing what it is they love. We got responses ranging from bikes, to national parks, to "snuggles." Check out the photos for yourself in our Flickr slideshow (below). Then share your own by joining our Grist Local Flickr group.
And if you wish that you’d known a little sooner about this great green event in Seattle, subscribe to our Grist Local: Seattle email list to receive weekly news about green goings-on in the Emerald City.

This Seattle event sounds like a melee and a mad dash for the swag table. 450 people is a bit much for something that works best as a social event. Most chapters, except for Chicago and Philly and some others, are way more low key and accessible...

Just like Cupid's damnable "holiday" itself.
