Yes, checked the web site: http://www.northwestbadminton.org/washington.php Depending on where your live, there're others you can go besides the ones SC listed. Also, check out and join the Seattle Badminton Yahoo Group which will have the latest gym hours/closures information also. http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/SeattleBadminton/
I just recently moved to Seattle, I play every thursday at the Renton community center, however it would be nice to have regular partners to play with! Let me know if you are interested.
I have not played at any other places in Seattle, could anyone give some insight on some good places to play?
Welcome to Seattle. Highline High School: (mon/thurs night during school year) Level: all skill levels 8 courts, low ceiling, not great lighting Talk to Steve Ellis, he'll set up game for you. North Sea-tac community center (mon/wed/thur night, Sat 12-4) Level: all (mon/wed/thur) more advanced players on Sat 4 courts, high ceiling St Edward (thur evening) Level: more advanced players 4 courts, ceiling (ok, a little low), not great lighting We're also in the process of having a dedicated fulltime badminton facility in Bellevue area. I'll announce it later, looks like a go so far (lease should be signed by this week). BCD tournament is coming up in early December. As I mentioned previously, signed up the Seattle Badminton Yahoo Group, you'll recieve the latest badminton related news in Seattle/WA area.
I am really interested to have a regular partner to play with also, but I have no idea how to go to Renton community center and the most important thing is, I don't have a car.
One more: Mercer Island (Friday evening 7:15 pm till ??? somethimes after 1 am) 3 courts, all skill levels.
Does anyone know if the Bellevue - Pro Sports Club is a good place to play badminton? Added: Those places which have Badminton on Friday, which one is considered the popular one. I never really played badminton in the Seattle area so I'm definately interested in playing tonight. Thanks
Hey rise888, I'm new to Seattle too and would love to get some pick-up badminton games with anyone. Let me know if you are interested.
Anyone know how much membership is at Proclub bellvue? I heard the Redmond one is VERY expensive for anyone not working for microsoft.
The $100 to $200 (don't know the exact figure) is the annual fee for badminton in additional to the regular membership dues (initation fee plus monthly due). Check out their website membership info: http://www.proclub.com/ The badminton fee does include shuttlecocks, there're 8 courts. The visibility is not great and it's fairly crowded most of time.
From what I've heard, Bellevue Pro club initiation fee is like 3K what what the people at the North Sea Tac who played badminton there said.
clinton, I received a PDF about the upcoming dedicated badminton gym in bellvue...however it did not mention the cost for drop-ins. How much will it cost for a drop-in?
