US Pacific

The Pacific Northwest Region includes Washington, Oregon and Alaska.  There are 12 ongoing events in the area.  We have an active summer ahead with 6 Highland Games to attend near you. All the planned highland Celtic events are listed below.  We cannot attend all the events. Those listed with a CCA tent leader will be active. The 2024 schedule of Highland games and Celtic events are listed in their order of appearance. 

Bagpiping, drumming, and band competitions are held under the British Columbia Pipers Association and the scores are recorded and ultimately will determine the grade level of the bands and individuals with grade 1 being the highest.  Those events considered part of the B.C. competitions are noted with an asterisk * by the event.

We welcome all Crawfords and those related to Crawfords and assist individuals with their questions and attempts to trace their roots and the value of DNA testing.

If you wish to help with operating the Crawford Clan Tent at one of these games, please contact the tent leader ahead of time to coordinate activities.

Email for Bruce Crawford is argyll.crawford@gmail.com and Terry Pea’s email is terrypea@gmail.com.

Regional Directors

Bruce Crawford

Bruce Crawford and Terry Pea have been the U.S. Pacific Regional Director and Alternate for Clan Crawford for the past 14 years. Bruce resides in Blaine, Washington. He has been active in the CCA as one of the YDNA Project coordinators helping to identify various lineages within the Crawford surname. He is also a bagpiper and has been associated with the Olympia Highlander Band and the Bellingham Pipe Band.

Terry lives in Warren, Oregon and was one of the earliest members of the Clan Crawford Association. He has a keen interest in Crawford history and has collected many Crawford memorabilia over the years and an extensive reference books at our clan tent help find various Scottish lineages. In 2014 we were awarded the best clan tent at the Portland Highland Games.

  We welcome all Crawfords and other visitors to the clan tents. We want to welcome anyone who wishes to help operate the clan tents at any of these games. Please notify Bruce at argyll.crawford@gmail.com if interested.

We will be holding a Pacific Region meeting of all members and former members at the Seattle Scottish Highland Games in Enumclaw, Washington and at the McMinnville Scottish Festival in Oregon after the opening ceremonies. We will meet at the clan tent and depending upon the number that come, may move to a different location at the fairgrounds to hold the gathering. If you are planning on coming please let us know to help in planning using the email above.
