Other Hosted Events
Beyond the three regattas annually hosted by the RAC at Green Lake, GLC intermmittently hosts a variety of events of regional and national import. For instance, Green Lake in the summer of 2006 teamed with its sister-organization, Mt. Baker Rowing, to host USRowing's Masters National Championship regatta. Green Lake was the site for the United States Women’s National Rowing Association’s national championships in 1969, 1972, 1978, and 1985. The Collegiate Women’s National Championships were held on Green Lake in 1984.
With its protected water and diverse inventory of rowing equipment, Green Lake also routinely figures prominently in the development and selection of the country’s premier junior rowers. GLC co-hosted (with the University of Washington) the Junior Women’s National Team Selection Camp in 2000 and 2001. The Junior Men’s National Selection Camp was co-hosted by Green Lake in 1990. Green Lake regularly hosts summer “development camps” that serve as the vehicle from which Northwest junior athletes are groomed for further participation on a national level.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“Reporters are not paid to operate in retrospect. Because when news begins to solidify into current events and finally harden into history, it is the stories we didn’t write, the questions we didn’t ask that prove far, far more damaging than the ones we did.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
