Women's University Club of Seattle

The women's club movement started in the 1860s in New York City, and Boston, and spread across the United States.[3] WUC members worked with two prominent local architects for their new building, Abraham H. Albertson and Édouard Frère Champney.Dr. Mabel Seagrave, an early member of the club, traveled to France during World War I, and was in charge of an entirely women-staffed hospital, which cared for 10,000 patients.[12] In 1943, the club's House and Garden Group created a cookbook, and the first printing generated enough funds for three clubmobiles for servicemen in Alaska.Five years later, the club votes to remain in the city and expand on the original building, rather than leave Seattle entirely.
