1932 - "The cabin will be known as Guye Cabin due to its proximity to Guye Peak.  It is owned by ye Washington Alpine Club of Seattle. A variegated group of bathers, card sharks, lounge lizards, cats, mountain climbers and skiers."

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 Pacific Crest Trail, and is a popular meeting place for members year round!

Only people checked out on opening and closing Guye Cabin are allowed to open and close the Cabin. Want to get signed off to open and close? You must volunteer at least one day for the Club in some capacity, attned work parties, and actively participate in an aspect of the Club. This could be with the Climbing Class, serving on the Board, leading a hike, or attending Cabin work parties.  Procedures for opening and closing the Cabin vary by season, and are important to be followed exactly so our water does not freeze or our pipes burst. Don't forget to close the shutters!

Bill Hooper, Doerte Mahanay, Mike Mahanay, John Sargent, and Dave Mitchell will check out folks on the opening and closing procedures!

• Summer procedures
• Winter procedures

Do you use the Cabin? Then you will want to volunteer at Guye Cabin Work Parties each year! Each year, we typically have work parties on the second Saturday of every month, May thru October. Check the WAC homepage for details.

Our Cabin was originally built, expanded, and maintained over 75 years exclusively by WAC members volunteering their time, money, materials, and skills! See something that needs to be done? Continue this long tradition by fixing what needs fixing, and joining a Cabin Work Party. Work Parties can be small informal events of one or two people, or large formal gatherings such as when the new roof was put on, when the Cabin was painted outside, or even last fall when a multitude of tasks were completed! They are all fun!
