HISTORY

The Wet Spot was founded in 1999 as the Seattle Sex Postive Community Center. Socially speaking, it is an outgrowth of Allena Gabosch's ''Beyond the Edge Cafe'', which hosted BDSM related events. Several regulars of the cafe started discussing getting a dedicated space for their activities. One famously quoted "It would be great if we could get 200 members". In fact the idea became more popular than they envisioned - in its first year The Wet Spot registered about 2,000 members. In 2007 the orginization changed its name to the Center for Sex Positive Culture, opened a second "annex" building, and had over 9,000 member registrations.
