Biographical Note
The Sunset Club was founded in 1913 by women from some of Seattle's most prominent families. Many were recent arrivals from the Northeast and Midwest who sought to replicate the elegance and culture of those more established areas of the country. The Club was formed to “promote the social and intellectual welfare of its members.” It has accomplished this over the decades through luncheons, teas, balls, lectures, arts performances and other events. The membership has always maintained “a focus beyond themselves” by engaging in important charitable and civil causes.
Sunset Club has evolved to meet the needs of current generations while maintaining its heritage with legacy members, many of whom are second or third generation legacies, and continues to engage members in programs, classes, and Club events.
