Mission In Seattle
Founded in early 2024 by Emily Wong, our Community Mission is to cultivate a welcoming and supportive pickleball community in Seattle where beginners of all backgrounds can learn, play, and enjoy the sport in a safe, inclusive, and judgement-free environment.
We strive to make pickleball accessible to everyone, fostering a sense of camaraderie and prioritizing a positive player experience above all else.
