Drop in on REI Flagship store there in Seattle. I believe they host lessons and would have a good idea of clubs and groups in the area. And if you go up to exit 38 past north bend, don't leave anything valuable in your car! but it is a great little area for practice with both lead and top-rope routes.

In winter here it is a little difficult to get out. Exit 38 is a great sport climbing area with plenty of variety of routes. As far as picking up buddies, I would try the Seattle Mountaineers. www.mountaineers.org/ I live on the Kitsap Penninsula and we have a climbing Yahoo group ("climbersgroup") so we can communicate climbs that way. You probably will do most of your climbing in the Cascades however. Frankly the Olympic Mountains over here are a bit chossy. November is a slow month for rock climbing due to conditions.
