Local Pickleball Guide – Seattle, Washington

As many players already know, pickleball was invented in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, an island just to the west of Seattle, Washington. It only makes sense that PickleballCentral is located just a short drive and ferry ride away from this historic island.
