We encourage you to join and become involved with our Society. There is no membership fee as our expenses are minimal. And there are no committees or formal meetings. But we would welcome your suggestions, contributions, and volunteer help in maintaining this web site, producing house concerts, coffeehouse concerts and other activities. There is no formal membership application - just indicate your interest and willingness to become involved. We would appreciate articles, photos, or audio/visual files to put on our website, ideas about concerts or other activities, or just general expressions of support. And in return, we would like to provide a forum where the traditional music and folklore of the Pacific Northwest can can be presented and were local folk musicians can participate.
We sponsor monthly 2nd Friday Coffeehouse Concerts at the
Wayward Coffeehouse at 8570 Greenwood Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103. We also have occasional house concerts, and have sponsored Sunday afternoon concerts at the Everett (WA) Public Library. Check our web site pnwfolklore.org for our current schedule of events.

The Pacific Northwest Folklore Society was founded by Walt Robertson and friends in 1953 in the University District of Seattle. The Society is devoted to the understanding and development of the folklore of this area. Collection, study, preservation, publication, and performance are all aspects of the Society's activities. The people of the Pacific Northwest are heir to a rich heritage of legend, song, dance, and other forms of lore. This study greatly aids the understanding not only of ourselves, but of our forebears and the land from which they sprung.
