The Recreational Boating Association of Washington Marine Parks Conservancy is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to creating and preserving recreational boating opportunities across Washington and British Columbia. Originally named the "Puget Sound Interclub Association," one of the first goals of the organization back in the 1950s was to purchase land on Sucia Island and donate it to the State for a Marine Park in an effort to stop plans for development of the area for vacation cabins. The organization raised $25,000 which was reported to be half the value of the island in 1955!  

The boaters of Washington and British Columbia can be eternally grateful that our inspired and hard working predecessors succeeded in this goal. Sucia Island exists as one of the crown jewels of Washington State Marine Parks. Our mission is to continue this tradition and create and preserve marine parks for recreational boating across the Salish Sea region.
