Saving our beloved community center for 100 years to come!
DID YOU KNOW?
The Methow Valley Community Center has served as a vital hub for nearly 50 years!
Home to numerous essential and beloved organizations and events, receiving 35,000 visits a year.
Our building is 113-years strong and in the midst of a renovation to replace the 80-year-old heating system which is failing and needs to be retired.
The Energy Retrofit will ensure that this community hub is ready for the next 100 years of service to our community.
