New 2 Seattle. Looking 4 friends.

Hey everyone! 33M. Just moved with my two cats to West Seattle. Literally today. I’m in need of a solid friend group or some suggestions on making friends.

I’ve seen some previous posts on this subreddit about how difficult it is to make friends here. I’d love to organize some kind of event/gathering on the west side or maybe just try to make acquaintances here?

I know joining hobbies focused/low expectation groups are something, being a regular at a gym or local watering hole, stuff like that works. But I’d really love genuine connection.

Wouldn’t mind having a writing group, accountability buddy for the gym, or even just a regular weekly meetup of friends to be vulnerable and just talk/play games or find a weekly activity where we try something new. Slightly scared being here on my own so it’d mean a lot if there’s some wholesome people who would like to expand their social circle. I’m a reliable and honest guy. Anyway this is embarrassing. But thanks in advance.
