Historical Note
The Mountaineers was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1906. The first
president was Edmund S. Meany. Standing committees were appointed at that first
meeting of the club to take over the work and organization of the two main
activities, the local and annual outings. The number of standing committees
grew with the increasing membership and interests of the club. Mountain
climbing has been one of the major interests. In 1935, climbing classes were
organized to teach the fundamentals of Mountaineering. The Mountaineers were
the first organized group to develop skiing in the Northwest. There are
branches in Tacoma, Everett, and Olympia. During part of the period covered by
the bulk of these records, Sue Justen functioned as the paid executive and was
succeeded by Virginia Felton. Scope and ContentConsult the scope and content information for each of the accessions
