Plastic Model Clubs IPMS - Seattle Chapter The Seattle Chapter of the International Plastic Modelers Society is one of the oldest, biggest, and most talented groups of plastic modelers in the country. Meetings never fail to draw 60-plus members, several kit venders, and great looking models. A large spring contest sponsored each year. Monthly meetings usually run about 2 hours. MEETING LOCATION! North Bellevue Community/Senior Center 4063 - 148th Ave. NE Bellevue, WA Directions: From Interstate-5 or Interstate-405, take 520 East to the 148th Ave. NE exit. Take the North exit on 148th Ave (the second of the two 148th Ave. exits) and continue north on 148th until you reach the Senior Center. The Senior Center will be on your left. The Center itself is not easily visible from the road, but there is a signpost in the median.
