Historical Note
The Coterie of Seattle, a women's club, was founded in 1899. After its founding, the club joined the Seattle Federation of Women's Clubs and Washington Federation of Women's Clubs. As the club developed, the mission shifted to intellectual betterment. The club's bylaws from 1960 read, "the object of this club shall be the intellectual improvement of its members and the stimulation of interest in work along all lines helpful to the community." The Coterie of Seattle, often referred to as the "Coterie Club" or simply the "Coterie," officially changed its name to the Seattle Federated Coterie in 1973.
