Statement of Significance: The Seattle Yacht Club - Main Station is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under criterion "A" for its association to the broad patterns of social history in the city of Seattle. As an exclusive club in Seattle, members have been prominent community figures. Not only have many members made significant contributions to history outside of the Yacht Club, the Seattle Yacht Club, itself, has made a significant impact on Seattle's cultural events. The significant contributions include boating and yachting, sponsoring races, training young sailors, and providing a place for both professional and amateur boaters and boat builders in Seattle to congregate. Boating was the most important form of transportation in the Puget Sound region for the early settlers and native peoples as well. The Main Station Clubhouse is a physical manifestation of the height of the yachting social scene in Seattle in 1920. The period of significance begins in 1920 with the completion of the building and ends in 1946, the date when a variety of alterations to the building begin to occur and membership(Submitted on February 6, 2025, by Douglass Halvorsen of Klamath Falls, Oregon.)is at an all time low due to WWII.Photographed by Douglass Halvorsen, August 21, 20242.
