Does anyone know where I can play badminton in Washington state? I just moved here...And I live in Bellevue, its pretty close to Seattle. Thanks.

hope <a target=top_ href="http://www.worldbadminton.com/play_us.htm#wa">this</a> helps.

Well I live in Bellevue, but I go play open gym Badminton at BCC. You could also register to be in classes if you want to there too. There is a badminton club in Renton but I do not have any information about them.

When is the open gym?

Well it's over for now at BCC. Wait until the fall quarter. If you are a student at BCC, go the student services building for more information. I am in a mailing list at BCC, so I get all the times when the open gym will occur.

I recently moved to Kitsap County which is fairly close to Seattle, but I was hopeing to not have to drive 2 hours to play. Is there anyone else in the Kitsap region?

Don't know if anyone plays at Kitsap county. List of places to play in WA:

There seems to be lots of clubs in the seatlle area, but I would hope there is someone in Kitsap or somewhere that doesn't require a ferry ride to play with. Any recommendations for seattle clubs if I have to go there that are active, and willing to except new members?

Most of clubs are drop-in base like Highline and north sea-tac.
Highline would be a good one to try and Steve'll setup matches for you
if you ask.

Bellevue Badminton Club is the only dedicated facility, they have guest
drop-in also (not cheap).

I appreciate the information on who to talk to. Finding a place to play that won't cost a arm and a leg is a great help.

I posted a similar reply to another thread, but I just saw this thread now. We are thinking of reviving badminton in Federal Way at the new community center. Saturdays 9-11:30am, Mondays 4:30-9:30pm. They allow walk-ins. I'm not connected with the Community Center,( just an avid badminton player) but I thought I'd help spread the word! Cheers!
