Washington State Senator Proposes Pickleball be the Official Sport of Washington
Washington state Sen. John Lovick has proposed Senate Bill 5615: a proposal to designate pickleball as the official sport of the Evergreen State.
Pickleball was invented in Washington in 1965, so we couldn’t be more excited to see a bill like this honor the roots of the sport we all love.
Sen. Lovick has been shocked by the response.
“This is one of those [bills] that, I thought I would just drop it, and people would just kind of chuckle, laugh about it, but … I've not sponsored anything that has generated so much attention. It's so much fun,” Lovick said Tuesday.
But the response doesn’t surprise us! We know the pickleball community is loud and proud.
