YMCA: Coal Creek Family YMCA

Building a community where all people, especially the young, are encouraged to develop their fullest potential in spirit, mind and body. We build strong kids, strong families and strong communities. In 1876, Catherine Maynard gathered a group of young Seattle pioneers including Dexter Horton and Rolland Denny in her parlor to discuss concerns over the future of their city. Out of that meeting came a dream of a new YMCA organization, which would build strong kids, strong families and a strong community. The dream of Seattle's first families has been passed from generation to generation. For over a century, the YMCA of Greater Seattle has played a vital role in the life of our growing and expanding community. The involvement of thousands of volunteers enables the YMCA to meet ever-changing community needs with creative and innovative services to build strength in spirit, mind and body.

The Coal Creek Family YMCA is located near Coal Creek Parkway and also has an off-site center, Lake Heights, located in the Newport Hills. The YMCA serves community members of Bellevue, Issaquah, and Renton school districts. We belong to the Association of the YMCA of Greater Seattle, which recently celebrated its 125th year anniversary of service. It is the goal of the Coal Creek Family YMCA to offer quality programs and services that meet the needs of every member of a family. We center all of our program activities on the four core values of Respect, Responsibility, Honesty and Caring.
