The Club
The Seattle Flying Dragon Boat Club is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that is run entirely by volunteers. We've been paddling on South Lake Union for more than a decade. Originally a branch of the Tacoma Dragon Boat Association, in 2008 we had grown enough to form our own club. Since then we've expanded to the City of Kenmore. We're part of the larger dragon boat community in the Puget Sound region and members of the Pacific Dragon Boat Association (PDBA).
