Mount Baker Community Club

Established in 1909 as the Mount Baker Park Improvement Club the Mount Baker Community Club (MBCC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting social welfare by initiating community activities, providing community activities, and supporting community enhancements. The Club helps instruct community members on subjects useful to the individual and beneficial to the community through the presentation and/or sponsorship of public discussion groups, forums, panels, lectures and other similar programs and activities.

A Clubhouse was erected in 1914 and serves as a gathering space for neighbors to celebrate, learn, share, and commemorate. Everyone who lives, works, or goes to school in Mount Baker is a member of the Club. Our membership encompasses some 6,000 households within our boundaries. We collect no membership dues. Our Clubhouse also serves as a rental venue, providing supplemental income for the operation of both the Club and the Clubhouse.

The MBCC is supported through a combination of income sources. These include, but are not limited to, an Annual Fund, rental of the Clubhouse, rental of a tenant space, the Mount Baker Home Tour (even numbered years), the Mount Baker Garden Tour (odd numbered years), public and private grants, and some income generating programs.

The MBCC is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, all residents of the Mount Baker neighborhood. Many of our events and programs are staffed by volunteers from the neighborhood.
