About Eastside Republican Club
Eastside Republican Club invites you to come be a part of our ever growing family. Founded in 1984, we exist to provide a warm, friendly, and welcoming environment for Republicans, those of like mind, and those looking for something other than the current political status quo in King County. The Club provides an opportunity to make new friends, become involved with the political process, support candidates, and learn more about the issues of the day.
In most every month, we get together with some of the most influential and interesting Republicans in the state — some elected, some working toward it, others just working for the cause. We exist to further the ideals and principles of the Republican Party in the State of Washington, and we always have a cheerful social gathering of friendly, like-minded people. Good food, good people, good times!
