SEATTLE – Washingtonians have a new option for specialty license plates as the Seattle Metro Pickleball Association celebrates the plate now up for registration.
Beginning Nov. 1, drivers can pay an initial $40 and a recurring annual fee of $30 to have a pickleball plate.
Where does the license plate fee go?
Proceeds from people getting the plates will go toward construction and maintenance of dedicated public pickleball courts in Washington, according to the SMPA.
The plate comes just three years after Washington designated pickleball as the official state sport. Since then, several large scale projects have been proposed or announced.
