About The Hoquiam Lions Club in WA
The Hoquiam Lions Club is one of Grays Harbor's longstanding community service organizations. It has been serving Hoquiam since December 3, 1941, making 2026 its 85th anniversary year.
The club is part of Lions Clubs International, a worldwide volunteer service organization whose motto is “We Serve.” The Hoquiam club is registered as Club #7894 in District 19-N, Zone 5.
What the Hoquiam Lions Club does
The club has a particularly strong connection to Hoquiam's annual Loggers' Playday celebration. Its documented community activities include:
Loggers' Playday Salmon Dinner: A longstanding annual fundraiser serving salmon dinners to residents and visitors.
Scholarships for Hoquiam students: The club raises money to help local students pursue college and vocational education.
Fireworks sales: The club operates a fireworks stand, with proceeds supporting student scholarships.
Rain Derby: A local fundraiser for which Lions Club members sell tickets.
Community improvements: The club has helped provide downtown benches and constructed a picnic/eating area at Adams Street Park, formerly known as Cannery Park.
These projects are documented on the Hoquiam Loggers' Playday website.
