About WIHSKI

The WIHSKI Club is a non-profit activities club for adults based in Seattle. We hold our General Meeting/Social at the Swedish Cultural Center located at 1920 Dexter Ave. North, on the East side of Queen Ann Hill overlooking Lake Union on the first Tuesday of the month. Members and guests can socialize from 6:30 PM to 7 PM, then announcements begin. The meeting is open to all and there is no charge.
        Despite the name sound, WIHSKI activities are not based on the drink, We feature skiing, cycling, hiking, golf, dinners, game nights and as many other activities as our members are interested in sponsoring.
         The club started at the Western International Hotel more than forty years ago and survives today as an activities club, run by volunteers, with the activities limited only by the will to sponsor and participate in them. Our most major activity is still skiing, but something is going on with WIHSKI about every week of the year.
        This page is intended to provide an overview of and updates to current club activities. For detailed information a quarterly newsletter is available at our monthly meetings, or by writing to:
                                  WIHSKI P.O. Box 31574 Seattle WA 98103
