Jefferson County Library - April is Pickleball Month!

The Jefferson County Library in Port Hadlock, Washington, celebrated National Pickleball Month by creating a poster using "Ollie the Otter" clip art and the commemorative "2022 Pickleball is the Washington State Sport" paddle. (Facebook, Instagram)

On March 28, 2022 six paddles were signed by Governor Jay Inslee, Senator John Lovick and others during a ceremony on Bainbridge Island. Paddles were donated to the Bainbridge Island Historical Museum, The Pickleball Hall Of Fame and USA Pickleball Association.
