United Way of King County’s young professional group, Emerging Leaders 365, is 10 years old, and you’re invited to kick off the festivities with Happy Hour & Hellos at Tutta Bella, Wallingford. Step into a room full of high energy and people ready to “beat the big dark.” With two Tutta Bella locations closing this month, it’s an important time to show up for our small businesses. On October 15, you’ll network with like-minded professionals and be inspired to take action in the community.

Appetizers, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages are included with your ticket. Parking is available on-site and in surrounding neighborhoods. Plus, there will be opportunities to walk away with Tutta Bella gift cards.

Limited 2-for-1 tickets are available, so RSVP now!

During our light 15-minute program, you’ll hear about United Way’s work in the community and timely ways to make a difference, including upcoming volunteer opportunities. Emerging Leaders choose to network, fundraise, volunteer, or give 365 days a year. By simply subscribing to our monthly newsletter, you’ll belong to a community of passionate young professionals who call Seattle home.

“Happy Hour & Hellos really feels like a summer camp for adults. The genuine connection in the room is phenomenal.”
-Joy, first-time attendee in 2026
