A curated room of Eastside business owners building real relationships and referrals that convert.

Most networking falls short. You show up, exchange business cards, have a few surface-level conversations… and leave with little to no real opportunity.

The NIA Eastside I-90 Collective was built to be different.

This is a curated group of growth-minded business owners from across Bellevue, Newcastle, Issaquah, Sammamish, Mercer Island, Renton, and the greater Eastside who are serious about building relationships that actually drive business. Here, networking isn’t transactional—it’s strategic, consistent, and rooted in trust.

Our monthly meetings are designed to help you:

• Build meaningful, referral-ready relationships
• Expand your reach across the Eastside
• Have better, more strategic business conversations
• Generate referrals that actually convert

This July meeting is our official membership meeting, and we’re opening a limited number of seats for invited guests to experience the Collective firsthand.

Who this is for:

• Growth-oriented business owners (solopreneurs to ~50 employees)
• Service-based, B2B, trades, wellness, and professional services
• People who value collaboration over competition

About the Collective:
The NIA Eastside I-90 Collective is a regional group designed to connect business owners along the I-90 corridor—pulling influence and relationships from Bellevue, Newcastle, Issaquah, Sammamish, Mercer Island, and Renton.

Meeting Details:
We meet monthly the 2nd Tuesday of each month at a convenient location just off I-90 for easy access across the Eastside.

A note on attendance:
This is a curated group, and guest attendance is limited. After attending, we’ll connect to determine if it’s the right fit—for you and for the Collective.

Join us on Saturday July 18th, 5:30-8:30pm at Kirkland’s Peter Kirk Pool, for a joyful, affirming evening of community and connection at Splash of Pride, a private pool night dedicated to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community! This FREE (13+ year old) event is made possible through a partnership between Pride Across the Bridge and the City of Kirkland’s DEIB Office, we are very grateful for their support! :)

Pride Across the Bridge works hard to provide inclusive and affirming spaces for our 2SLGBTQIA+ community to come together, celebrate their identities, and enjoy the camaraderie and joys of swimming, that may be taken for granted by many in our community. We know the hurdles many in our trans, nonbinary, and queer  communities face, and whether it’s body dysphoria, or self-conscious body image keeping you from the water, join your community who understands and live out your aquatic dream! We offer a supportive environment where everyone can feel welcomed and respected, regardless of their gender identity or expression. Our events are designed to foster a sense of community, belonging, and joy, allowing participants to connect with like-minded individuals, share experiences, and build lasting friendships. :)

We are an all-volunteer organization committed to promoting the well-being and visibility of the trans and nonbinary community through engaging and accessible events. Our team is comprised of passionate individuals dedicated to creating positive change and celebrating diversity. Whether you’re a seasoned swimmer or dipping your toes in the water for the first time, Pride Across the Bridge welcomes you to join us in making waves and embracing the beauty of our shared journey.
