FPA Puget Sound × Northwest Family Business Advisors Rooftop

FPA of Puget Sound's Network and Connect night with Northwest Family Business Advisors is a two-hour Downtown rooftop for financial planners and the advisors who sit next to closely held companies. The Financial Planning Association chapter hosts. Pairing with Northwest Family Business Advisors pulls in people who work ownership transitions, succession, and family balance sheets, the household-adjacent work many first-gen professionals need more than another software mixer. The format is conversation-first: views from Madison Centre, late afternoon into early evening, and no continuing-education marathon on the agenda.

FPA of Puget Sound is the local chapter of the national association for financial planning professionals. Its 2026 calendar already includes chapter meetings, a spring symposium, a summer social, and a September advanced-planning half-day. Northwest Family Business Advisors has been a multidisciplinary membership group for family-business professionals in Greater Seattle since 2000, with an all-volunteer board, bi-monthly breakfast meetings, and spring and fall socials. This rooftop is their joint August network event, listed on both calendars as a summer social.

This evening is right if you are a CFP professional, planner, tax-adjacent advisor, or family-enterprise counsel building referral density in Seattle. The listing names career stages from aspiring through established, so early-career planners belong if they can introduce a practice lane. The night is a poor fit if you need accredited-investor pitch blocks, a Korean chamber vendor floor, or an engineer meetup. Same calendar day also holds Keiretsu's Family Office Forum at the Washington Athletic Club. Pick by audience rather than stacking both.

Wednesday, August 19, 2026, 4:00 to 6:00 PM PDT at Madison Centre Rooftop, 920 Fifth Avenue. Use elevator K and go to R for rooftop. Register through the FPA event page. Members are $30, non-members $45, and corporate partners are listed at $0. Online registration ends Monday, August 17. Cancellations received by August 14 get a full refund. From August 15 they are non-refundable.

Downtown garage time at 4:00 PM is real, so leave a buffer if you are coming from Bellevue or the north end. Arrive with a crisp practice-lane introduction and one collaboration question so two hours can compound. Confirm the live FPA page before you block the evening, in case capacity or the cutoff moves.
