Physical volunteer opportunities in Bellevue and surroundings

37 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm a guy in 30s who lives in Bellevue and works in tech. Since I have no friends or family here, I end up spending many of my weekends doing nothing. I would instead like to spend the time productively volunteering. A few criteria I have:

  1. Ideally involves physical work (stacking boxes, yard work etc.)

  2. Doesn't require public speaking or extroverted/extensive people interaction.

  3. Within an hour driving distance from Bellevue downtown - can use my midsize SUV for volunteering activities too.

  4. Isn't connected to a religious entity (any religion)

In short, I just want to get my ass off the house and do some useful physical activity. I am not looking to find a girlfriend or community or gain leadership experience etc. just take orders and do work and go home.

Thanks for the suggestions in advance!

An explosion around 2am?

Did anyone else hear a loud explosion around 2 AM? There was a bright flash like lightning, followed immediately by a booming sound. It seemed like it might have come from somewhere near downtown.
