Welcome
Connecting the Puget Sound, Regardless of the Grid.
Puget Mesh is a volunteer-led community dedicated to the deployment and support of off-grid communication networks—including AREDN, MeshCore, and Meshtastic across the Puget Sound region. Our mission is to provide community-owned resilient digital infrastructure that serves as a vital tool for disaster preparedness and emergency response.
New to mesh networking? You’ve come to the right place. Beyond the technology, we are a community of builders. Whether you’re looking to troubleshoot a node or brainstorm your next project, our Discord server is the hub for our off-mesh collaboration. Use it to ask for help and also to meet others in your area in one of the regional location channels.
Get Involved: Join our Discord. We use it for nearly all of our communication outside the mesh.
Follow Us: We occasionally post user projects and events on both Bluesky and Instagram
Contact Us: For official inquiries, please email inquiries@pugetmesh.org.
Current Events:
Q1 2026: Most of our efforts are going into building out MeshCore, the successor to Meshtastic. We have infrastructure for both, but MeshCore is much more effective in our region.
Past Events:
May 2025 Meshtastic ShortFast Experiment!
For the Month of May we are trialing SHORT_FAST/ShortFast. We encourage all users to move their nodes over for the whole month of May. More information can be found on the event page here.
