I'm in Spokane and would be interested in having a meeting as well.
We're all just in the Tri-Cities, so I suspect that starting up a meeting is up to you. We're about to have our second meeting, coming up in February. We alternate between technical meetings for the members, and community outreach for the general population; this meeting is one of the latter.
I don't know anyone that hangs out on the forums that is in your area, but perhaps this thread will help them to get in touch with you.
