Matchmaker Maria helps singles find one another (and maybe even fall in love). As CEO of Agape Matchmaking and host of the “Ask A Matchmaker” podcast, Maria Avgitidis has set up more than 5,000 first dates. “In Seattle, dating means mingling with educated, goal-oriented individuals, all while exploring the great outdoors,” Maria says. Instead of relying on dating apps, she recommends making connections at events like trivia nights, cooking classes, and pottery workshops. Stop swiping and start meeting people with these events for Seattle singles curated by Eventbrite’s resident dating expert.

Don’t feel like leaving the house? You can still attend a comedy workshop, join a yoga class, or discuss a recent page-turner with a book club — virtually, of course. Eventbrite’s experts have curated the best online events and experiences where you can log on, learn something new, and make new friends, all from your couch.
