Anyone else have a hard time finding people to hike with around Seattle?

Kinda curious if others feel this too. I love hiking, but actually finding people to go with has been weirdly tough.

I’ve tried Meetup, random FB groups, texting friends the night before and sometimes it works, but most of the time people flake or it just never lines up.

So I’ve been messing around with a little side project. It’s a site where you can browse hikes and see/chat with anyone else who is hiking that day. Colchuck, Rattlesnake, Mount Si, a bunch of the Seattle/Cascade trails are already in there.

Not trying to sell anything — it’s totally free, just a passion thing.

Mostly curious:

– How do you usually find people to hike with (if at all)?
– What do you wish existed to make it easier?
– Any trails around Seattle you’ve been dying to do but don’t wanna go solo?

Happy to drop the link if anyone wants to check it out. Just trying to build something useful.
