Free Geek Seattle is a growing non-profit organization modeled after the original Free Geek of Portland, Oregon. Our focus is free and open source software advocacy, technology education, and sustainable computing. What We Do Refurbish donated computer hardware, and install free open source software for distribution to the community. Provide education about basic PC hardware, the Linux operating system, and any other technologies that we're working on or have expertise in. Recycle anything we can't fix or use an environmentally-responsible manner. Get Involved Donate - Please contact donate@freegeekseattle.org with any questions or information about donating. We are currently accepting hardware donations via drop-off at the Filipino Community Center of Seattle.
