Rowing is a sport that is mostly offered at private schools or clubs and can be expensive to take part in. Except for Inglemoor Crew. Being one of the few public schools in the greater Seattle area that boasts a rowing program, it has given many students the opportunity to partake in the sport when they otherwise wouldn’t be able to, even after raising the “pay-to-play” price from around $200 to around $800.

Head coach Doug Van Gelder speaks on his experience with the team and details the situation and what could possibly come after Spring 2024.
