On September 19, 1996, REI opened the doors to its first flagship store in downtown Seattle to serve as a hub for its co-op members. Twenty-five years later, you’ll still find the store bustling with outdoor enthusiasts searching for top quality gear, seeking expert advice, and receiving service from a pro technician. To celebrate their 25th anniversary, the REI Seattle flagship store is inviting you to eat, drink, and socialize to support conservation work at The Mountaineers.

About The Mountaineers Conservation & Advocacy Fund
The Mountaineers is an influential voice for public lands. In partnership with our community of members, volunteers, and philanthropic supporters, we advocate for the protection of our public lands and the outdoor experiences they provide. And we succeed thanks to your voices and ongoing support.
Our organization played a vital role in the creation of Olympic National Park. We advocated to congress to designate the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. We helped protect the Methow Valley from industrial-scale mining, designate the Mountains to Sound Greenway a National Heritage Area, and permanently reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Learn more about our Conservation & Advocacy efforts.
Can't make the event but still want to support conservation and advocacy work at The Mountaineers?
Join us Wednesday, September 22! Tickets are limited and are available to purchase through REI. More information about current COVID health and safety guidelines will be sent the week of the event. For more information, please contact development@mountaineers.org.
