YES YES YES! Do it! I predict it will be very well attended.
Seattle has the most LW readers of any city in the world without a meet-up!
Visits to LW the past year / Meetup
11000+ Visitors
10000+ Visitors
9000+ Visitors
8000+ Visitors
7000+ Visitors
6000+ Visitors
5000+ Visitors
4000+ Visitors
EDIT: Added 13-50, these are total yearly visitors, not hits
All these cities had at least 500 unique visitors the last month. I would be confident starting a meetup anywhere with over 5000 visitors / year... all of which have at least half the readership of cities that already support meetups now. Other cities that look promising but are just on the borderline are Oslo, Hong Kong, and Princeton.
What is the range in size for meetups?
I'm just wondering what to expect when looking for locations.
The first few meetup ran in Melbourne attracted 8 and then 12 people IIRC with just passive LW meetup notices a week or two in advance. I'd expect you to get around 6 people to show up that aren't you with perhaps as many as 10.
The last London one was about 16 people - but I'm told that may have been an anomaly... we'll see.
