I live in Lakewood! And thank you for the welcome!!! :dance:
Cool! There are quite a few of us in the Seattle/Tacoma area!
That's awesome! Good to know there are some close to home!
I'm about 20 minutes south of you.
Awesome! :D
Hey there, Whitney! I'm in UP! Small world. I'm sad that the pool I use is closed up during the US Open :/
Hey, this is so cool! Other mers are so close! :D And yes, there's so much closed during the US Open it's not even funny! If the pool near me is open, that'll be great, but I doubt it will be. *sigh*
I'll probably go river or lake swimming relatively soon, we go camping in Eastern Washington every year, so that's something to look forward to.
Oooh, yeah I bet river/lake swimming in Eastern WA is nice. Probably much warmer than the Sound, lol. Does the pool near you allow tails?
You could come down to Olympia for a swim!
That's a good question, JustCOS! I've gotta ask! And yeah, it's nice and warm over there.
And hey, that's a great idea! I'd love to come swimming down there! I don't have a tail or monofin yet, but still! I'll have to ask my parents about the idea.
That sounds super tempting, Raayvhen! Looks like the price is the same as my pool, and the hours are way more expanded. Is it salt or chlorine, just out of curiosity? And if I did come down, would you wanna meet up? :p
I'm still working on my tail, but it's about halfway done (and fabric, so when I get back to it it'll go quick).
Actually, I swim at The Evergreen State College where I go. It's $6 for non students and the lifeguards love seeing mermaids. it is chlorine.
And I'd love to meet and swim.
I thought I remembered you saying you were a Greenie :)
Would wendesday work for you? If so, what time would be best?
Hey all,
I'm new to the site. I've been swimming like a mer since I was little, but never considered getting a tail until a few years ago. Now I'm working on saving up some money and building up my strength, so I can get a tail. I'm in Hayden, Idaho... swimmin' in the lakes!
Welcome!
Just as an update to all the Tacoma-ish mers, I took my tail to the Curtis pool today at they were totally fine with letting me swim. :) Plus it's a saltwater filter, and only $3.50, so it's not a bad place to do some laps!
Definitely definitely have to check that pool out sometime!
Welcome to Maiden Lissa!
And hey, that's cheap for a saltwater pool! Gotta check it out sometime.
Hello there everyone! My name is Tiana and I am new! I am just starting my mermaid journey, I am in Kitsap County, in Bremerton. Working on getting my first tail from Mermaid Kariel. I started a GoFund, let me know if you might be willl to share my story! as I sure I will with all of you. Cant wait to meet you all!
Hello all, I'm Mariah, most of my friend just call me Riah or Riot and I live in Ellensburg WA, I've been here for a couple years now but I was born and raised in CA so I'm still adjusting. I've always had dreams of being a mermaid but I only stumbled across the mermaid scene a few years ago and only recently found this forum. I'm really looking forward to meeting some new friendly fins! I as of yet don't have a tail and I'm working through my anxiety to try and get out more so I can start swimming again.
I'm in Arlington, smallish town more or less an hour's drive north of Seattle
Hey all! I am Mermaid Brynley and I live in Fairbanks, Alaska! Alaska doesn't have a pod of it's own because I'm pretty sure I am currently the only mermaid in AK lol so I'm jus gonna include myself in this on because it's the closest to me.
I have only ever been to the Seattle airport BUT I would absolutely love to see more of it and a lot more of Washington in general so next time I am coming to the area I will let everyone know! I also hope I can make it to a Seattle meet up some day!
xoxo MB:mermaid kiss:
You're totally welcome in our pod, Brynley
You are absolutely the sweetest. Thank you so so much! :)Quote:

I'd really like to get to know some merpeople and arrange for lots of swim hangouts! If you also go to Evergreen, let's go to the pool together!! I need to swim more!
Hi everyone! I just realized that I've never formally introduced myself to the North Pacific pod... oops. Anyway, I am Mermaid Essie and I've come back home to Seattle to attend grad school. I'd love to get to know some more mers and do a bunch of meet ups/go swim! ^_^
Man, there are so many members of this pod that I've never met. We really need to plan some more swim meetups.
Essie, where are you going to grad school?
Hi guys! Time to introduce myself to the pod! Everyone calls me Rocky and my fairy/mer persona is called Reawyn (aka Rini!)
I'm from Long Island, New York~ I have a car so i don't mind driving around to go to events or meet ups! :)
It's gonna be a looooooooooooong drive from New York to the Pacific Northwest!
oh wow im such a moron here i am thinking im posting in the New England Pod HAHAHAHA ohhh boy
Well I will becoming to Washington and Cali sometime this summer for some photoshoots hopefully i'll have some time to meet ups with mers!
Hey guys!!! I finally figured out how to join the Pod of my area! My name is Mermaid Nelly and I'm located right by the boarder between Washington and Oregon [emoji5] I don't have a tail made yet, but my monofin is on its way and it'll be steady progress from there!
Welcome, Nelly :)
Hello, I am from Coos Bay Oregon. New here, as yet have no tail.
hello :) I'm from the east side of Washington. other wise known as the desert XD. i would love to be able to meet up with more mermaids!
Hi everyone! I'm Mermaid Brianna, I live near the Seattle area, and i'm totally looking for other merfolk to swim with this summer! My wonderful boyfriend/bestfriend/photographer will be away in Virginia this summer :(. So id really love to get out there and meet some merfolk around Washington! :)
There is a beach cleanup event going on at the end of the summer as well! I think it would be so cool if we could get a bunch of Merfolk from around the PNW to come up to Bainbridge Island and all hangout and clean up the beach! If anyone would be interested in going, let me know!
I would def be interested in the cleanup. But don't know if i would be available to make the trip. Please post dates as we get closer to when that could happen :3Quote:

Hi! I'm Chrissa or Christina! I've always been a mermaid at heart, but my actual tail is coming in the mail soon! So excited!
I live in Seattle on an old Sailboat in Elliot Bay.
My goal is to eventually take my Sailboat on an adventure around the world and swim in many other waters, but for now, I'll be in the Puget Sound most of the time! Happy to meet you!
Lovely to meet you Chrissa! That sailboat sounds fantastic, i hope you get to travel the world, thats sounds like an amazing adventure.

Good to meet you Mia! Yeah, I'm quite a fan of living aboard. It will still be a few years before I head off, but the Puget Sound has a lot to offer until then.
Sometime I would love to host some sort of mermaid meetup aboard for mermaids in the area that are interested. ^.^
