Now that we're finally settled in (took a few months) it's time to find a run club. I LOVED my run club in San Francisco (GGRC), and loved leading run clubs for Lululemon. I've been on the lookout for a good group in Seattle but was coming up empty handed. Last week I drove all the way to Issaquah to try the "Seattle Running Club" - after a 45min drive, I couldn't find them! Not their fault - I got lost on Cougar Mt. Come to realize, there are MANY great looking run clubs closer to home ... and I'm looking forward to testing the trails with some of these groups and then finding "the one" ... or two.
In no particular order, here are some run clubs in Seattle - I hope this saves you some searching time:

Hey Amber- Long time reader(+ runner) (came via Emilystyle to your old blog). Moving to Seattle Monday to begin a postdoc position at UW, and have been anticipating having to search for a new running club. I'll be living on the north side of Greenlake (with a built in 5K loop!), and looking for a club in that proximity. Thanks for your list, it will definitely help my search. See you on the roads!
Welcome to the hood! We're in Wallingford - hopefully I'll see/meet you at a run club nearby. If you ever need a running partner or if you have any questions about the area, let me know.
