About Us
Connecting for Good - Service Above Self
Mission
The Rotary Club of Seattle creates strong relationships, increases understanding, and serves critical community needs.
A Powerful Force For Good
Of thousands of Rotary clubs in the world today, Seattle was number four. It’s a legacy that our business and community leaders take seriously, gathering weekly to manifest the Rotarian ideals of friendship, fellowship, and service. As one of the world’s largest Rotary clubs, we can and do make big things happen - and you can help us achieve even more.
Our Commitment to Social Justice
Seattle Rotary denounces racism and the marginalization of people from any group and in any way.
We ask all to stand in solidarity with members of our community who are experiencing any form of racism, xenophobia, and marginalization.
Service Above Self: Our History, Our Future
For the past 100 years, the Rotary Club of Seattle has played an instrumental role in helping to develop the international organization and to meet the needs of deserving people in our community and elsewhere. For one, we pioneered the ideal of service as a core Rotary value. We also led the way in sharing Rotary locally, regionally, and across the Pacific. Above all else, Seattle #4 has always exemplified the ideals of community service. For a historical perspective on our first 100 years, please download our 2009 Centennial Anniversary booklet (PDF).
Membership
We have consistently sought out leaders in a wide variety of business professions throughout the Seattle area. Today, we work proactively to make sure our membership represents the diversity of men and women in positions of leadership in the Seattle community.
