 Spring has arrived and the trees are proudly showing their colors.  Spring trees

All ranges are up and running with full training schedules. Multiple agencies will be accessing our facility this year.  A note to all, there will be agency training on some Sunday's this year, particularly on the LE Rifle Ranges.  Those training days will generally not affect normal use of the Civilian Ranges.  There will be Range closures for the Outdoor Pistol Range during a full schedule of Bulls Eye Matches.  To check for closures look at the Pistol competitions section of our Web Page and visit the WA Rifle and Pistol Association's link for the full schedule of events.  The Washington State Police Pistol Association will be conducting Monthly PPC Matches on Combat Range 3 per the schedule on our Web Page (resulting in Rifle and Shotgun Range Closure from 9 am to 2 pm on match days).  The WA Biathlon Association will also be running Summer Biathlon Events through the Spring and Summer months. On those days the Rifle and Shotgun Ranges will be closed until the completion of the event and associated cleanup. Their schedule is available on the link to their Web Page. Their tentative schedule calls for closures on the back rifle and shotgun ranges on June 14, July 26th, August 16th and September 13th.  

As always, if you are in doubt of any range days or scheduled closures, we recommend that you call the Main Phone line in the Range Store (206)684-7470 or 7474, prior to coming down to the range.  The Staff can check the master calendar for range availability.  Scheduled range closures are posted on the available bulletin boards both inside and outside the Range Store.

The improved Shotgun range remains quite popular with heavier use. We are very pleased with the level of cooperation we are seeing.  We will still allow 7 1/2 shot until store supplies are exhausted.  I expect we will go over to 8 shot by mid-spring or summer this coming year.  Remember, recyclable clays are required and are available at the Range store for a reasonable price. 

Mandatory Electric Trap Machine orientation classes continue on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year.  Contact the Store Office for information on when they are scheduled.  There is no need to sign up, just be there when they are given and obtain your Shotgun authorization card at that time.

The popular NRA Handgun Safety Class will be offered through this coming year again.

The marking of the parking areas for RV's and Trailers was completed.  All current space holders have been notified to move back to the West side of the range parking lot or to stay at their current location.  We will be expanding the parking area to include the parking spots on the east side of the Pavilion lot as well, making more long-term RV and Trailer parking available to our members.  If you have any questions or have not been contacted yet, please contact Steve Heard at (206)762-7468 (on Wednesdays only) for further guidance.

The North end of the Range is still not blocked off by fencing or other barriers (plans are being made to put a new fence up on the north end of the lot).  Members should at all times be cautious of unauthorized access.  As a common practice members should notify the Range Staff of any individuals that you suspect do not belong on the property.  It is recommended that vehicles and equipment , when not under the direct control of the member, should be secured and locked.

As always check the posted range closures and if in doubt, contact the range office by phone at (206)684-7474.

Come into the Range Store and check out the wide selection of rifles and handguns...you might just find something special on which to spend that Income Tax Refund!!

Inventory is high and prices, as always, are low in the range store.  We have a large selection of AR-15's and various new handguns for sale.  New Store Photos
