‘5:00-9:00PM–all are welcome’ apply to every day or is that for specific days? Also, can we show up just to watch or do we have to pay the money to participate and learn how to do it?
Thanks,
Fred
That’s specifically for the chili cook off after one specific open house I think.
Saturday October 18 – 1:00pm – 5:00pm *Annual Chili Cook Off follows Open House 5:00pm – 9:00pm – all are welcome!*
As for just showing up to watch, the venue is well setup for it (there’s a viewing area upstairs) but I’m not sure on their policy. It might be too crowded with all the people there for the open houses. You could email the coordinator to see? openhouses@curlingseattle.org
Let me know what they say. I think a lot of people would be interested in just watching. But I would personally encourage people to try it. I haven’t had time to join a league but I’ve been to two events like this now and it was lots of fun.
Also, they have more info here:

Thanks, Phillip! I’ll check w/them when I get motivated & let you know what they say 🙂

I talked to Granite Curling Club yesterday. As far as the gal I talked to knew, the dates are strictly for the open houses, and the 5-9PM window I was wondering about applies to the Chili Cook-Off after the open house on 18 October.
But, she said they have lots of viewing room, although it fills up quickly due to leagues, so anyone is welcome to come watch any time. And of course, I didn’t get the hours that they’re actually open lol.
