Seattle CityClub is a trusted place for civic conversation, inspiration and action. Their programs strengthen the civic health of their region.

Seattle CityClub strives to create a community of informed and active citizens throughout greater Seattle. Since 1981, they've brought together leaders and the public to talk about complex issues across political, professional and generational divides. Today they reach out through in-person forums, social media, publications and broadcast.

Their mission is to inform, connect and engage the public to strengthen the civic health of their region. It’s their vision that, along with natural wonder, innovative business and vibrant culture, the Puget Sound region is defined by informed citizens engaged with their leaders in effective democracy.

At the time, many civic organizations, such as Rotary International, were open to men only. The founders of CityClub determined that their new organization would be open to all and would provide a nonpartisan forum for ideas and debate. Since its first program in 1981, CityClub has sponsored thousands of dialogues, discussions and candidate forums featuring local, regional and national experts and leaders.
