Fall around Seattle
If you’re into hiking and nature, yeah, we’ve got that. Nevermind that the tournament is literally right on the Green River and we’re the Evergreen state for a reason, cause we’ve got a couple of recommended out-of-Seattle waterfalls for you to visit!
Snoqualmie Falls- Hike around there or just go do the 1/4 mile hike down to the base. Just like any hike, flip flops are not recommended for this downhill adventure.

Practice with BCKF Ladies
Chinatsu Maruayama, 4 time all Japan Women’s Champion, will be up in Vancouver, BC right before the Olympics and the ladies of the PNKF have been invited to join the BCKF ladies for a mini seminar/godo keiko on Saturday, February 6th. It will most likely start in the early afternoon and be followed by some dinner fun.

Rock and Roll Seattle Marathon
Be advised if you are coming that the Seattle Rock and Roll Marathon is going to be held also on June 26, in the Seattle and Tukwila area. The race starts in the north Tukwila area at 7am by BECU and finishes at Qwest Field in downtown Seattle.
The Renton Community Center is near, but not close enough so that you should not encounter road closures if you stick to the I-405 and Maple Valley Highway.
Do not try and cut through Renton or Tukwila the morning of the taikai, or you may be very sorry.
