Our Mission

Historic Guye Cabin

One of the best things about WAC membership is historic Guye Cabin on Snoqualmie Pass. The jewel of the Alpine Club, the Cabin serves as the focal point for many club classes, activities, and gatherings. First built in 1932, it has been expanded over the years to become a wonderful rustic mountain lodge. It has easy access to all the summit ski areas, the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area, the Pacifc Crest Trail, and is a popular meeting place for members year round!

Members also have the opportunity to support Guye Cabin projects and pay annual fees for the year in lieu of single day or overnight fees each time you visit.  These annual cabin fees are effective for the membership year through the calendar year.

Annual Cabin Fee:

Immediate Family of three or more WAC Members             $120.00
Immediate Family of two WAC Members                          $100.00
