The Mountaineers encourages all activity participants to carpool where appropriate. When you designate a carpool area, you're telling us generally what neighborhood or region you live in. This helps us assemble carpools of participants who are geographically close to each other. This is not always possible, but we do strive to make connections as easy and sensible as possible. This information is not used for any other purpose or given away.
When you join The Mountaineers, we ask you to choose a branch affiliation. This helps us better understand where our members live, and in what areas they most often participate in activities. There are no restrictions, however, on which branch you participate with. Seattle members can participate in Olympia activities, Tacoma residents can go on Bellingham outings, and so on. One benefit of choosing a branch is that you get access to special events and activities where you can meet more of your local Mountaineers.
