Check us out! We are a very small, informal club with a lot of history. We are a friendly group, and we'd love for you to send us an email if you have questions. Our publicity chair, Kay Ishii handles questions, etc... and she can be reached via email at info@WashingtonAlpineClub.org. She's nice! All the information about our Club is on our web page. Or you can download our application form from this website.

The best way to get involved when you join the WAC is to take a class, attend an outing, social event, and/or volunteer to help. Like any volunteer organization, you can get more out of it, if you put into it.

Member Benefits include:

• Monthly Newsletter available via email in pdf format)
• Yahoo Email Group
• Discount Season Passes at the Summit
• Fellowship and social activities
• Leadership opportunities
• Opportunity to take WAC classes (lots to choose from! Basic Climbing, Lead Climbing, Winter Backcountry Travel, Telemark Skiing, Nordic Ski Clinics, MOFA (Wilderness First Aid), CPR)
• Planned and spontaneous outings (anybody want to ski Camp Muir this weekend? climb at Icicle Creek? snowshoe Commonwealth Basin?)
• Teaching opportunities (no better way to learn your knots than to teach someone)
• Privilege to use historic Guye Cabin and club property on Snoqualmie Pass
• Work Parties at Guye Cabin ( learn & practice home restoration, improvement and repair)
• Conservation and Service Projects

Our membership fees are extremely small. Our membership year runs from January 1st to December 31st. To join, there is a one time $15.00 Initiation Fee required for all new (and wayward or lapsed) members. Our dues are a mere $30 a year.

All memberships expire on December 31st of each year.

It's easy! Simply:

fill out the web-based application form,
print it and the membership waiver,
sign and initial in all the right places,
and send our membership chair a check for $45 for one year 
(or join for multiple years) to the address on the form.

A separate application and signed liability release needs to be done for each member joining.
