The Seattle Glider Council consists of members from around the Pacific Northwest who are interested in promoting and participating in the sport of soaring. The SGC manages a national caliber soaring site in Ephrata, Washington and also owns and operates two towplanes which are based in Ephrata during the soaring season which generally runs from mid-April to October. The towplanes are also available for flying safaris and encampments. For a historical view of the original founding of the SGC see THIS pdf document.
