“We make it a point to welcome and offer folks something at all levels of their indie path – whether they’re just starting out or are already making their own games full time. By 2016, Seattle Indies had grown into its current iteration: a fantastic support network that encourages, challenges, and celebrates indie games and the people that make them. Over time, membership grew as various groups coalesced into a loose mixture of like-minded individuals. The organization began as a chat group back in 2011, a way for developers to meet and talk. Set during PAX weekend, the Seattle Indies Expo (SIX) showcases up-and-coming Seattle indies to the world One of the clearest examples of this is the non-profit, Seattle Indies.

Free to pursue their own projects in their off time, indie games and devs have popped up in droves.

The city has flourished with the presence of the tech industry, gaming companies, and a robust art scene. Seattle is a hodgepodge of enterprising creativity. Thankfully, it’s been a gamble that’s paid off. Yet here I was, moving up to start what was the next leg of my life. I didn’t really know much about the greater Seattle area or the city itself. I didn’t really seek out the Seattle area, so much as I kind of ended up here.Ĭramming my life into my ratty 1996 garbage-truck-green RAV4, I drove up to Washington and didn’t look back. For creative types in their 20s, not a whole lot to offer. While it has its charms, Monterey County’s biggest industries are government, agriculture, and marine bio. Like many other wayward millennials, I’d spent the past two years in my hometown after graduating college.
