About Us
The
Pacific Northwest Shell Club was
established in 1960 with its purpose to promote the study of molluscs,
the hobby of shell collecting and the preservation of molluscan
species
and their habitat. Our
membership ranges from beginners to
professional scientists. We are based out of Seattle, Washington,
with our current meeting location just north of the Seattle
city
limits. Meetings are free for anyone to attend and feature
educational presentations. Meetings often
include silent auctions and door prizes. They are
held on the third Sunday of each month, except for June when the
meeting will be held on the fourth Sunday.
Special
meetings are: August -
Annual Shell Auction; December - Christmas party
Visitors
are
always welcome!
