About us
The Washington Butterfly Association is dedicated to the enjoyment, conservation and understanding of butterflies and their ecology through education and scientific understanding.
Founded in 1999, we have members all over the state of Washington. Our monthly meetings are in Seattle. They are held on the first Wednesday of the month in September thru December, then February thru May. We invite all people interested in butterflies to attend our meetings. Kids are always welcome.
Our topics are normally related to butterflies and moths. Occasionally we will throw in a meeting about some other nature topic. Examples are: binoculars, bats, dragon flies.

Habitat Restoration Work Party at Magnuson Park
Magnuson Park, 7400 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115, USA, Seattle, WA, USJoin the Washington Butterfly Association (WBA) for a hands-on work party dedicated to giving the meadow at Magnuson Park's Kingfisher Basin the care it needs to thrive. We'll remove invasive plants that crowd out native vegetation, then add pollinator-friendly plants to help create a thriving habitat for butterflies and other essential species. No experience necessary, just bring your enthusiasm, and we'll provide the tools and guidance. Together, we can help turn this site into a haven for pollinators and a greener space for our whole community to enjoy.
