The Tide SW Foundation was formed to enhance access and enjoyment to public lands. Our Board’s appreciation for the outdoors has always been steadfast.

The Foundation’s name has a special meaning to us, and though one would think our main objective is water related, that is only one facet of our focus. Our dedication is to our public lands AND waterways AND their access.

Meet our Board of Directors….

As you can see, we really don’t want you to know who we are.

It is about the work we do.

President, Treasurer

Our President is a native of Washington State. From an early age, he spent countless hours hiking and biking at Mount Rainier. Today he still enjoys spending as much time as he can outdoors.

Vice President, Secretary

Also a Washington native, our Vice President was introduced to the outdoors exploring and camping with her family. It wasn’t until she met her husband, the Foundation’s President, that she came to enjoy hiking and climbing.
