Free Geek Seattle is a volunteer non-profit organization focused on sustainable computing. Started in 2009, we model ourselves after the original Free Geek in Portland Oregon. Here is what we do, in a nutshell... Refurbish viable computers using Free Software to distribute back into the community through our Volunteer and Grant programs. Recycle computer gear deemed non-viable in an environmentally-responsible manner. Training how to work or play with computers (hardware/software) and the Internet.
