History

In 1963,ten women founded the Mercer Island Welcome Wagon, an organization dedicated to welcoming families who had just moved to the Island. The group flourished and increased in membership. In 1981, the Mercer Island Welcome Wagon changed its name to the Mercer Island Women's Club, and opened membership to all women living on the Island.

Today, the Club continues to welcome women to this fulfilling social and civic organization. Over three hundred enthusiastic women of all ages enjoy a variety of activities tailored to the interests of the current membership. Whether you are single or married, have free time during the day or in the evening, there is an activity for you.
