Welcome to diving, and to :sblogo:!
You're in a great place to be a new diver. There are great ways to meet people and get into the water here. There is a standing dive at Mukilteo on Monday afternoons and evenings (usually one at 4 and one at 6, with a trip to the Diamond Knot brewery for suds and food afterwards). Another standing dive is the NWUE dive on Wednesday nights -- this is a mostly GUE group, but welcoming of all new divers. In addition, there are good dive clubs locally which hold club dives. The Moss Bay Dive Club has a dive most Tuesday nights at Cove 2 in Alki. Up where you are, there is the Emerald Sea Dive club -- I don't know their schedule, but I'm sure they have a website or Meetup group.
Another good source for dive buddies and opportunities is nwdiveclub.com. It's a small local forum which is heavily used for making diving dates and writing dive reports.
It generally isn't a problem to borrow tanks and weights, if you arrange it ahead of time. But a suit, you're going to need to have!
Check out some of those possibilities, and if there is anything I can do to help you get in the water, please feel free to PM me.
