Do you miss exploring the city and running into your friends? Us too!

Join the GGWash staff, board, and Neighbors to explore CyberWashington, an interactive digital manifestation of some urbanist dreams (and nightmares) for the future of the Washington region.

Come explore a virtual recreation of the Washington region. Wander around, ride the Metro worry-free, crawl between your favorite bars, and meet some new or familiar faces along the way. There will be space for games, socializing, and possibly even a CyberQuest. All are welcome, especially people new to our community.

We’ll provide the online space, created by our amazing Neighbor, D. Taylor Reich, but BYOB. Click here to register. Hope to see you there!
