Welcome to the newest astronomy unclub in the Pacific Northwest.  The GAU was created for the purpose of sharing the subject of amateur astronomy and the night sky without the administrative burden that volunteer registered non-profit astronomy organizations experience. 

There are no members, no dues, no formal structure, and no expectations other than to enjoy the night sky and share the experience with others.

The GAU hosts informal astronomy events, coffeehouse meetings, and observing sessions.  The GAU is also available for free public lectures and static displays on amateur astronomy for all age groups.

The GAU is now in its 4th year and has reached out to people in 477 cities in 67 countries.  Since October 26, 2009 it has shared over 70 astronomy-related articles and held numerous coffehouse gatherings, and celebrated its 2nd anniversary on reggae night at the Nectar Lounge in Seattle, WA.
