    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.

    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?

    There has to be someone out there

    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).

    Thanks

    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.

    [SIZE=-1]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!

    Would love to get something going in the Kitsap County area. The Silverdale YMCA has open court nights where you can play badminton, but it's pretty difficult to compete with the basketball players.

    Look after yourself building up. Can’t just go on court and expect to play like an 18yr old
