Finding an NA Meeting in Seattle

The meeting finder above searches by proximity, not by city boundary, so it can surface a meeting a few blocks away and one just across the King County line at the same time.

That matters in a spread-out city like Seattle, where a meeting in Ballard or Capitol Hill may be a shorter trip than one across town, and the Link light rail connects several neighborhoods to meeting locations without needing a car. The finder also picks up nearby options in Bellevue, Renton, and Kent for anyone willing to travel a bit further, and the full Washington directory if you are passing through.

Meetings held in and around Seattle include open and closed discussion formats, Basic Text and step study groups and LGBTQ+ focused meetings, with virtual options for anyone who cannot attend in person.

For same-day help finding a meeting, the Seattle Area helpline is 206-790-8888, and the Washington/Northern Idaho Region line is 888-290-1953. Both take a text with your city or ZIP code and reply with nearby options.
