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:
“By many a legendary tale of violence and wrong, as well as by events which have passed before their eyes, these people have been taught to look upon white men with abhorrence.... I can sympathize with the spirit which prompts the Typee warrior to guard all the passes to his valley with the point of his levelled spear, and, standing upon the beach, with his back turned upon his green home, to hold at bay the intruding European.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
