Welcome to the Granite Curling Club
Founded in 1961, the Granite Curling Club (GCC) of Seattle is home to curlers of all abilities, including more national champions than any other club in the USA.
The "regular season" is October through March each year, and the "spring season" with reduced activities is April through June; there is no curling in July and August. During the regular and spring seasons, there are many Leagues, Bonspiels (competitions), and Open Houses. You're welcome to come out and participate, compete, or just watch the action.
USWCA All-American Bonspiel - Registration Open
The All-American, sponsored by the USWCA, is an inner-club event held by member clubs throughout the United States during the curling season. This is a fantastic spiel to socialize and get to know your fellow curlers.
Teams will be randomly assigned in advance. The first draw will be at 11 am, and the event will conclude around 5 pm. All teams are guaranteed three 4-end games; there are 40 spots.
