(I love that their picture is of Chong coaching at Green Lake!) Besides the hours lis ...Continue Reading

Seattle's International District/Chinatown Community Center is now open for table tennis by reservation only. Hours are Tues/Thurs: 12:30p-7:30p and Sat: 10:30a-5:30p. You will need to create an account and sign up for a 2 hour time block. The cost is $3 adults, $2 seniors. They are only allowing 16 players during each 2 hour time block. I believe play is in the gym, rather than the small room. I'm not sure how many tables will be set up. Here's a direct link to the table tennis program: http ...Continue Reading

Since that time, the community center has purchased tables, barriers, paddles, balls, the gym divider nets, and has installed tournament grade lighting. It is now our turn again. The Seattle ARC office has s ...Continue Reading
