About Us

The Propeller Club, Chapter is a civic, social and charitable organization that promotes maritime commerce in the Puget Sound region. A vibrant and strong club with a membership of nearly 200 from diverse sectors of the industry, we’ve donated more than $11,000 to the Sea Scouts and the S.S. Propeller, the Catholic Seamen’s Club, and other maritime causes in the past year.

Each year in May we sponsor the Seattle Maritime Festival, which includes the world’s largest tugboat races and other family-friendly events. We also put on the annual Steamship Dinner, which brings together a broad spectrum of the waterfront community. The Annual Propeller Club Golf Tournament raises money for our charitable donations. The Propeller Club roster is published annually and provides an excellent resource for networking on the waterfront.

We invite you to attend one of our monthly luncheons and consider joining the club. As written in our bylaws, the purpose of the Propeller Club, Port of Seattle Chapter, is:

• To promote maritime commerce in the Puget Sound region.
• To support existing maritime businesses and related services including the American Merchant Marine and the Port of Seattle.
• To encourage the development of new maritime ventures.
• To foster understanding and cooperation in the public and private sectors with regard to maritime issues.
• To support the objectives and programs of the Propeller Club of the United States.
