Bill Longwell was a longtime member of the Issaquah Alps Trails Club and taught English at Hazen High School. He built and maintained many of the local trails, often with the help of his students.

During the 1970s, Longwell surveyed and led the effort to build the 16-mile long Tiger Mountain trail system. He also helped build and maintain numerous other trails at Squak Mountain and in the Issaquah Alps. The scholarship was created in his honor shortly after his death in 2007.
