Hey Guys,
I am new to this and was wondering if there are any Drupal classes or regular meetings in Seattle? I am starting building a catalogue type website and need help with it. Thank you.

The Seattle Drupal User Group has regular meetings - you just missed one yesterday -- 3rd Thursday of the month generally.
We also have been putting on an annual "Drupal Clinic", which is a one-day beginner's intro to site building in Drupal. The last one was in July; not sure when the next one will be (as I've been the organizer/leader in the past, the answer is probably "when I get around to it").
And there's also an annual Pacific Northwest Drupal Summit, oriented towards experienced Drupal professionals (open to all though), which I think in 2011 will likely happen in October in ... is it Portland's turn? I think it will be in Portland or here.
Finally, there's a local group organizing a "dojo/barn-raising" that could be a good way for you to learn about Drupal.
If you browse through the Seattle group's postings, you should find the March meeting announcement and info on the dojo/barn raising, or perhaps someone will post a link.
