YWCA camp on Bainbridge Island, 1905
Order an ImageSeattle's Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) was founded in 1894 by a group of women who wanted to help the city's working women. At that time, many young women came to Seattle in search of jobs, but ended up on the streets. The YWCA provided meals, classes, and a variety of clubs and activities, including camping on Bainbridge Island. The group also gave political support for fair wages and other women's issues.
