Anna Lank proudly wearing her 75th Anniversary club patch!In 1936, the Seattle Skating Club joined U.S. Figure Skating and became one of the first clubs to join the new National Governing Body of Figure Skating in the U.S.
During the past 75 years, SSC has seen triumph and tragedy. Our club's history is rich, our memories deep and in this year we look to the past in celebration.
We invite you to visit our History page.
WELL WISHES!!!
Guess which FOUR Time WORLD CHAMPION sent the following to SSC!!
On behalf of a funny looking Canadian skater who's name rhymes with Flirt, I would like to congratulate the Seattle FSC on 75 years of edges, jumps, spins, fun and runny noses.
Way to go, enjoy your show and celebration.
Kurt Browning
Enjoy the rest of these well wishes!!

To mark our anniversary, we will be launching several initiatives.
Marking our Anniversary with a new website!
Welcome to our new website! We have strived to communicate more effectively with our club members, but most importantly are creating a site where we can share in the community of our skating club. Pictures, videos, blogs from competitors in our club are just a few approaches we are hoping to include.
Our website is updated frequently and we need your help to make it better! Club members are invited to email to us a photo of their active club member skaters. It is our goal to have a picture of every club skater on our site!
We also invite anyone who has club history to help us fill in the blanks! Video files, pictures and any other sources of club memorabilia are encouraged and appreciated! Please email me!
Retro Club Merchandise!
Wearing the past is a trend this year as we begin to sell merchandise featuring the original club logo found on this page. Currently for sale are a retro patch and pin. Several of our skaters will be wearing the original SSC logo proudly this weekend as they compete at the NWP Regional Championships! Please see our club merchandise page!
