In June 2008, DiscNW applied for grant money to have permanent lines for Ultimate added to the new synthetic soccer fields and rugby field that are currently under construction at Magnuson Park through the King County Youth Sports Field Grant Program.. If approved (the answer won't come until the end of 2008), there will be 6 Ultimate fields permanently lined into those fields by the fall of 2009.

Hey all you adult ultimate players. You love this game and you know how good it has been to you. Now is your chance to help spread the game to the next generation. Seattle has one of the largest and most active youth ultimate scenes in the country. As organizers continue to work hard to bring the game to less financially able kids around town, they need your help. Donations are tax deductible and your funds will be used to provide opportunities that would not be available without your support. There are many ways to give.

Please include a brief note if you would like to earmark your contribution for a specific purpose (see below), and please include your name and a return address if an official receipt of the donation is requested.
