Seattle Office

SCA started here in 1957 when the first volunteers arrived at Olympic and Grand Teton National Parks, and today SCA’s Northwest regional office administers and supports SCA programming  in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and in British Columbia, Canada.  Since SCA’s headquarters relocated from Vashon Island to New Hampshire in 1976, we have maintained a steady presence in the area.  Our regional office in the heart of Seattle’s International District also operates SCA’s local Community Programs such as the Northwest Conservation Leadership Corps and hosts SCA’s Native Plant Corps.

National Parks: Northwest Stories on KCTS

Did you watch National Parks: America's Best Idea?  The new documentary from Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan premiered in late September on PBS.  In anticipation of it, KCTS premiered Northwest Stories telling the untold local stories of Mount Rainier, North Cascades and Olympic national parks.  You can revisit the storm damage of 2007 at Mount Rainier National Park and the massive volunteer response that SCA helped to facilitate.  SCA's founder, Liz Titus Putnam, is the focus of another video highlighting the start of SCA and the importance of connecting youth with nature.  Check out these great stories!

A Busy SCA Summer Comes to a Close

SCA is wrapping up another busy and successful summer around Washington State and the Pacific Northwest.  SCA alumna, Jaya (pictured below), just finished her first summer as a seasonal National Park Service staff member.  Jaya was joined by fellow SCA alumna, Wendy, at North Cascades National Park as both served as seasonal staff.  Jaya was an interpretive ranger and Wendy worked in the maintenance department.  Both had an amazing summer!

SCA had three high school crews serve at Mount Rainier National Park this summer.  Both Wendy and Jaya served with SCA at Mount Rainier in past years.  Here is a picture of the final crew enjoying the sunset!
