Gig Harbor (WA) – Mugs with Mates for Aussies & Kiwis

A dose of home – no passport required!

Miss the feeling of bumping into someone who just gets it? Someone who doesn’t need “yeah nah” explained, knows what a flat white or a long black is, and packed a jar of Vegemite in their checked luggage – just in case.

Mugs with Mates is a relaxed get-together for Australians and New Zealanders. Join us for good coffee, easy chats, and the kind of familiar accents that make this corner of the world feel a little closer to home.

Aussies & Kiwis in Seattle is taking Mugs with Mates on the road, with Saturday meetups designed to connect more of our community across Washington State. If there's interest — and someone local keen to host — we'll keep adding new spots.

Angela is hosting this session and would love to meet fellow Aussies and Kiwis from the area. If enough locals are keen, the hope is to turn this into a regular catch-up for the Gig Harbor community.

Whether you're local to Gig Harbor, over in Tacoma, or just fancy an excuse for a Saturday coffee and a drive, you're very welcome.

Look for the Aussie & Kiwi flags on the table, or ask your server to point you towards the group.
