Recently, USA Curling issued a press release detailing changes they are planning to make to their Transgender Participation Policy and Guidance in response to the United States Olympic and Paralympic implementation of Executive Order 14201. Despite changes at national and international competitions, Granite Curling Club will continue to adhere to the 2021 revision of the USA Curling Transgender Participation Policy and Guidance.
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.
The road to Milano Cortina Winter Olympics runs through Seattle. With GCC alumni Luc Violette and Ben Richardson earning their place on Team USA as members of Team Casper, 2026 is already shaping up to be a landmark year for curling — and we couldn’t be prouder.
Good curling to Luc, Ben, and the entire team — your GCC family is cheering you on every step of the way!
From December 5-7, we hosted our annual Holiday Bonspiel. Thanks to our bonspiel coordinator, our amazing suite of volunteers, and our ice crew for a festive weekend!
