WSS - About Us

Who We Are

The Washington State Society is a non-profit, non-partisan, member organization comprised of individuals who are living and working in the Washington, DC metropolitan area but are still "rooted" in or have connections to Washington state. The Washington State Society brings together all with a love of the other Washington--Members of Congress, Capitol Hill and Administration staff, journalists, students, military staff, diplomats, business leaders, and many more. Our premier event is our annual Potlatch dinner--for more than 40 years, members feast on fine Washington state products, such as seafood, wine and beer. Throughout the year, we also hold happy hours, sports-watching events, and an annual golf tournament.
