Welcome
Welcome to the Ethical Culture Society of Puget Sound. We're a humanist group that meets in the University District of Seattle, and we get outdoors when possible. We have additional holiday celebrations, events and summer activities. (click on Events and Sunday Meetings for more information).
Who We Are
Our members describe themselves as free thinkers, brights, atheist, humanist, agnostic, and spiritualist. We have families who are seeking an ethical community as an alternative to church. We have college students as well as our most experienced members of society. Some of our members were raised in Ethical Culture, while others were raised in traditional religions they decided not to follow.
Click on the "About Us" link (above) for more information. You are also welcome to email questions about Ethical Culture, or call (425) 562-8740 to speak with an Ethical Culture member. We're happy to tell you more about our group and share our experiences.
