2027 State conference
APRIL 16 & 17
Join Us for our 2027 Annual Conference!
Make plans now to join your fellow Compatriots for the 2027 Washington State Society SAR Annual Conference at the beautiful Swinomish Casino & Lodge in Anacortes!
Our annual conference is much more than a business meeting. It’s a chance to connect with fellow Compatriots, celebrate our shared heritage and patriotism, learn something new, and enjoy great fellowship with SAR members from across Washington.
The weekend will feature engaging presentations, educational programs, historical discussions, recognition of Compatriot accomplishments, Society business, and plenty of opportunities to visit with old friends and make new ones.
New to SAR?
If you’re a newer member—or you simply haven’t attended a state conference before—we especially encourage you to attend. The conference is one of the best ways to meet Compatriots from other chapters, learn more about SAR, discover opportunities to get involved, and see the Society in action.
You don't need to be a chapter officer or committee member to attend. Come as a Compatriot, bring your spouse or guest, and make a weekend of it!
Make It a Weekend!
The Swinomish Casino & Lodge provides a beautiful setting for our conference, with comfortable accommodations and a variety of amenities to enjoy before and after conference activities. Staying at the Lodge also means you can relax and enjoy the weekend without having to worry about driving back and forth.
Come for the conference. Stay for the fellowship. Leave with new friends, new memories, and a renewed appreciation for SAR!
We look forward to seeing you at the 2027 WASSAR Annual Conference!

This is a once-every-year opportunity to learn more about SAR through some excellent educational sessions, participate in the conduct of business at the Members Meeting (including election of officers for the next two years), attend the Color Guard and Society of 1812 meetings, and meet compatriots from the ten chapters across our State.
