North Cascades Institute has operated the Learning Center in partnership with the National Park Service and Seattle City Light since 2005. Integrating sustainable building design with Earth-friendly operations, the tree-sheltered campus features 16 buildings clustered on the north shore of Diablo Lake. Facilities include:
- Three comfortable lodges with ADA-accessible accommodations for 69 guests
- A lakeside dining hall serving fresh, local and organic meals
- Multimedia classrooms, science labs and our Wild Ginger Library
- An outdoor amphitheater and secluded meditation shelters in nearby woodlands
- A dock on Diablo Lake for paddling adventures
- Trails leading deep into the national park
Located along State Route 20 less than three hours northeast of Seattle, the Learning Center provides ready access to landscapes east and west of the Cascade Crest, from the pine-studded sagelands of the Columbia Plateau to the Skagit Valley, Puget Sound and San Juan Islands. Whether you sign up for a natural history seminar or a Family Getaway, attend a free Day Trip or a creative arts retreat, book a group rental or attend a Sourdough Speaker event, we look forward to sharing the Learning Center with you!
