History
Established in 1876.
In 1876, Seattle pioneers Dexter Horton, Rolland Denny and Catherine Maynard began meeting regularly to discuss strengthening their rapidly growing community, especially for the young. On August 7, 1876, they formally established the YMCA of Greater Seattle.
The same spirit of collaboration that united Seattle’s first families has been passed from generation to generation, as the Y continues to nurture youth, promote healthy living and foster social responsibility.
The Y is a membership organization open to all people. We welcome women, men, girls and boys of all ages, races, ethnicities, religions, abilities, sexual orientations and financial circumstances. Our programs and branches embrace diversity, reflecting the people and needs of our communities.
