Rotarians across District 5030 and Harvest Against Hunger helped launch Elk Run Farm in 2015 by raising over $100,000 for the initial infrastructure and securing AmeriCorps members to build it. Elk Run Farm exists solely to provide fresh produce to hunger relief organizations in South King County.

In order to sign up, you need to sign a General Volunteer Release and Waiver of Liability and to complete a Elk Run Farm Volunteer Registration Form. After you've done this, go to Elk Run Farm: Sunday 10 AM- 2 PM Volunteering 2026 and sign up for April 12. 

Your Rotary Club of Seattle members 40 and under invite you to a casual happy hour! Get to know your fellow members in a relaxed setting. The group hopes to offer more evening and weekend service and social events in the future, so stay tuned!

New Members get to learn about the Rotary Club of Seattle (RCOS), Seattle Rotary Service Foundation (SRSF), and what it means to be a Rotarian - by doing - with guidance and support from their Mentor and the Mentor Committee. New members earn their Blue Badge, and find their way within the Club, by following the path provided by the Blue Badge Checklist.  Once the Blue Badge Checklist items are completed, the new members will have a better perspective about the Club and know more people. 

Join us from 9 AM - 12 PM for a day in service to the Rotary Boys and Girls Club-the club your very own Rotary Club of Seattle helped establish! If wanting to attend, please RSVP at  jared.grose@industriousoffice.com.

We’re pleased to invite you to Rotary Day at the UW Foster School of Business, a special Year‑End Program Celebration recognizing the impact of the Rotary Business Mentors Program and our longstanding partnership with the UW Foster School of Business. Please see the attached PDF invitation for full event details.

This in‑person event will bring together Rotary mentors, students, small business owners, advisors, faculty, and community partners to celebrate a year of mentorship, learning, and community impact.

Organized by the Lake Union Rotary Club, Happy Hour 4 Good is a lively event that will feature David Bobanick's renowned classic paella. Dainis Svarcs, owner of Abbe Vineyard Winery, will be pouring his signature wines. Beer and non-alcoholic beverages provided by Talking Rain Beverage Company will also be available. Sue Nixon and her jazz quartet will entertain us for the evening. A voice described as soulful and rich, she and her quartet traverse between classic jazz, blues, Latin, and pop.  

Will you be the lucky raffle winner of an authentic winemaker dinner for six at Abbe Vineyard Winery? Just imagine enjoying a five-course dinner on the winery's terrace overlooking 4.5 acres of rolling vineyards nestled in the heart of Federal Way. Each of the five courses will be thoughtfully paired with a specific wine to enhance the flavors of both the dish and wine. 

Harvest Against Hunger is honored to be the beneficiary of the net proceeds raised. This is an event you don't want to miss! 

Serves to fulfill Rotary's mission of "advancing international understanding, goodwill, and peace." The committee selects projects that positively impact the health, education, and welfare of less advantaged people in other countries, with a particular emphasis on youth. Actively works with clubs in our District and abroad to leverage — via matching grants — the amount of money available for a project.

Prior focuses have included malaria projects in Zambia, Tanzania, and Uganda; microcredit and water projects in India; de-mining projects in Vietnam and Lebanon; AIDS orphan support in South Africa and Ethiopia; education/literacy projects in Nepal, Chile, and Hungary; and more than a decade of wide-ranging projects in Russia.
