Seattle lost a landmark leader this week. We are saddened to announce the passing, on February 28, of Jim Johnson, 1996–2012 President & CEO of the Washington Athletic Club. Jim’s years leading the WAC pushed the Club to a higher standard than ever before. Under his leadership, the WAC renovated spaces, expanded operations, and strengthened community partnerships that continue to this day. But Jim’s greatest contribution was his emphasis on culture. His love of the WAC translated into a focus on team, high standards, and working together to provide great member experiences. A member of the WAC prior to taking the reins, Jim’s relationship with team members and respect and appreciation for their work shone above all else. The Johnson Lobby Lounge is named in his honor. Please join us in honoring Jim and sending our thoughts and prayers to his family and loved ones. Thank you, Jim, for everything.
