Mission:

History:

The Swinomish Yacht Club is located in LaConner, Washington, and was chartered in 1937. Milo More, then Mayor of LaConner, was our first Commodore.

Our Club was formed to promote safe boating practices and sponsor marine events designed to stimulate interest and family involvement in boating. Our membership embraces a broad spectrum of individuals and families that share this objective

Because of our premier location, our club has one of the largest rosters of reciprocal clubs in both Washington and British Columbia. If you are unfamiliar with reciprocity, it is an agreement between clubs to exchange moorage. With the participation of more than 80 clubs, diligent use can substantially offset the cost of annual dues.

Our club is also an active supporter of R.B.A.W., the Recreation Boaters Association of Washington. R.B.A.W. is the only organization representing boaters political interest in Olympia. Although personal membership is optional, we do encourage members to join. Our club also participates R.B.A.W. membership at the Club level.
