Coin collecting is a fantastic hobby. And like most hobbies, it’s even better when you can share it with other people!
While coin collecting is enjoyable on your own, nothing beats gathering with fellow coin enthusiasts to show off your collections, share tips, or trade items.
And coin clubs are alive and thriving! There are many coin clubs in Washington state, most of which are centered around the greater Seattle area.
This WA coin club directory lists all of the active coin clubs in the region, so that you can find a group to participate in.
Note:Â This information is as up-to-date as possible, but some contact information/meeting times/etc. may no longer be accurate. It’s best to contact the coin club directly (or check their website, if they have one) for full details.
