Welcome to University Friends - a Seattle Quaker Meeting

In the Religious Society of Friends, we worship together in expectant silence and through spoken words. There is no human leader and no prearranged program. Each person who enters the Meeting helps to determine the depth of our worship as a group. The silent hour is a time of seeking awareness of the Divine — dropping our usual patterns of thought, analysis and worry. We wait patiently for a kind of consciousness which Quakers have traditionally called the Light. Learn more about Friends testimonies on our Newcomers page.

We meet for unprogrammed worship in person on Sundays at 9:30 and 11:00am, with Zoom access at 11am. Childcare is available at the 11am meeting for worship. 

On the second Sunday of each month we have an 11:00am hybrid meeting for worship. We will transition to a hybrid meeting for business at 11:30am. We hold one summer Meeting for Business. Fifth Sundays are dedicated to children’s worship. 

Following guidance from public health authorities and considering the presence of elderly and medically fragile individuals, we strongly encourage worshipers to follow our Guidelines for COVID and other respiratory illnesses.  

University Friends Meeting depends on the generous contributions from the community of members and attenders.
