I called Rob Holland, as suggested, just to get some basic information. Here is what I found out:
The Drinking Liberally group used to meet regularly at Columbia City Ale House on the 3rd Wednesday of each month from about 7:30 until late. They would have a friendly group there, and also sometimes guest speakers (local politicians).
With the recent and very popular caucus activities in Washington State, the folks who used to organize it and attend have gotten a bit swamped with that work. (For example: April 5th is the legislative district convention at Ballard High.) They need a new interested party to commit to just sending out a reminder every month and to be there - and get the group meeting again. Rob can provide all the basic information, and can explain all the background support that is already available for this.
