Seattle Partners With Amazon To Organize A Pickleball Event

Seattle Partners With Amazon: Seattle eagerly anticipates the return of Pickleball for All this weekend, transforming downtown into a vibrant hub of sporting delight. Organized in collaboration with the Seattle Parks Foundation, Seattle Metro Pickleball Association, and Amazon, the event will unfold on Sixth Avenue between Blanchard and Virginia streets. Eight courts will grace the street temporarily, inviting enthusiasts of all stripes.

Across the way, festivities will spill onto the playfield adjacent to Seventh Avenue, near the iconic Amazon Spheres. The event promises more than just games; it’s a full-scale carnival with live music, local shops, and family-friendly activities. Seattle Metro Pickleball Association volunteers will provide complimentary coaching, ensuring every participant can enjoy the sport regardless of experience level. The courts are ADA-accessible, welcoming all ages to join in the fun.

Returning after a successful debut last year, Saturday’s schedule spans from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., while Sunday’s festivities will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Parking is conveniently available at all Amazon buildings, except Day 1, which remains closed for the weekend. The nearby Doppler Garage at Seventh Avenue and Lenora Street offers the closest parking option, ensuring easy access to the heart of the action.

While registration is encouraged, the event’s website reassures, “If registration appears full for a specific clinic, we encourage you to still show up, ready to play. As this is a free event, space often becomes available!”
