We want your sleeping bags!
Donate your surplus and gently-used sleeping bags, fleece, gloves and other outdoor gear to the homeless this winter through The Mountaineers. We're gathering as much gear as we can, and we need your help! We collect the used items, and then work with Acts of Kindess to distribute them.
The weather's not going to get any warmer for a while now - please consider donating to help out those less fortunate. Donations may be dropped off at The Mountaineers Building during business hours. To make other arrangements, please contact Member Services at 206-521-6001.

 New Executive Director Takes Helm
Martinique Grigg is stepping into the role of Executive Director for The Mountaineers, following an exhaustive nationwide search by the organization. Over her career, she has worked with a variety of outdoor-oriented organizations, most notably L.L. Bean and the Appalachian Mountain Club.
"Being asked to serve as The Mountaineers Executive Director is both an honor and a privilege," said Grigg. "The Mountaineers have a well-deserved reputation as an exemplary pioneer in outdoor recreation, education and conservation...I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to The Mountaineers, and lead it into its second century."
Grigg officially begins Monday, December 7, but will make an appearance at the Banff Film Festival during the week prior to her start. To read more about Martinique, and the executive director search, please read the December Mountaineer magazine.

Check out the new Mountaineers Building
We're finally settled into our new digs in Seattle's Magnuson Park, and it sure feels good here. The park is a perfect place for The Mountaineers Building, which has plenty of space for classes, meetings and special events.
We posted a few pictures of the new building on Flickr. We will be adding to this photostream from time to time, so keep checking in to see what we've been up to.
