Notes from the Event Director

All participants must register in advance. There will be no on-site entries.

Parking
PLEASE CARPOOL!!
SCDS is located on lovely Queen Anne hill (2619 4th Avenue N, Seattle), and as a result, parking can be difficult. SCDS strongly encourages that you carpool and/or park your car farther away and walk to the school, in order to alleviate congestion in the immediate area. A few parking spots can be found within the school driveway and in a small gravel parking lot located at the northeast corner of 4th Avenue N and Newell Street. All other parking is limited to residential streets. Our neighbors have asked that we do not park on the west side of Nob Hill Ave N. In order to ensure that we can continue our tournament next year, please help us keep our neighbors happy by carpooling or walking from a farther parking spot.
