ACTION ALERT
Support Pickleball Courts at Magnuson Park
The Seattle Metro Pickleball Association needs you to send a message to the Seattle City Council and the Mayor to build 25 courts at Magnuson Park. The first step for the project is amending the park's master plan which requires city council approval. Don't let the squawking from opponents be louder than your cheers!
Send your message in support of the new Magnuson Park courts to the city council now!
The Seattle Metro Pickleball Association has made it super simple.
You don't have to live in Seattle to respond.
MARCH 4 UPDATE:
No Timeline for Repair of the Miller Court Lights
Oct 31

Day 1
Half of the Miller court lights have been out of commission since about October 2024.
On December 24, 2024, Seattle Parks posted "The issue was caused by vandalism and theft of the conduit wiring, as well as older equipment needing to be replaced. This is a large project that SPR is working to address but may persist for a couple more months while crews work to address other priorities in the queue of work"
Seattle Parks now says:
"[...] there is not a timeline in place for repair because of the nature of the work, materials, and expertise required to fix them. While this seems unfavorable in the eyes of the public, SPR is still working on this issue and on the queue of all other issues occurring across the entire city with all our parks with the limited staff and time we have available."
MARCH 1 UPDATE:
Is Seattle Parks Slow Walking the Repair of the Miller Court Lights?
The East bank of lights that shine on the Miller tennis courts has been out of commission for over four months now, during the darkest part of the year. While the West bank of lights still works and provides a minimal amount of light on the East courts, this particularly affects anyone whose night vision is not optimal, such as older people.
Rumor has it that Seattle Parks is purposefully slow walking the repair of these lights. Allegedly, they are not delaying the repair, but they are also not speeding it up even though they could.
This can't possibly be true, can it?
