Polo in Washington.
Polo in Washington is a short, intense summer sport. The grass season runs roughly July through mid-September, and the state's play centers on a handful of clubs and a travelling circuit of USPA tournaments. La Conner Polo Club, in the Skagit Valley about an hour north of Seattle, is the west side's full-season club.
Where polo is played in Washington
On the west side, La Conner Polo Club plays a weekly schedule of club chukkers plus USPA tournaments including the Constitution Cup, the George Dill Legacy Cup and the Pretty Woman Women's Invitational. East of the Cascades, Spokane Polo Club hosts events such as Polopalooza and the Peter Dix Memorial.
Washington players also travel regionally through the season — Vancouver Polo Club and La Grande in British Columbia, and Rose City Polo near Portland. You can see which weekends are home and which are travel events on the 2026 schedule.
Searching for polo near Seattle, Carnation or Bellevue?
There's no full-season USPA club in the Snoqualmie Valley, the Carnation area, or the Eastside. Riders from King and Snohomish counties who want regular chukkers generally end up at La Conner — I-5 north, roughly 70 to 90 minutes depending on where you start.
Dedicated pages cover the drive and details from Seattle, Mount Vernon and Bellingham.
How to start playing
You don't need horses of your own. La Conner is George Dill's home facility — his rental string supplies horses from British Columbia to Seattle, Santa Barbara, Indio and Texas — so lessons, chukkers and tournament mounts can all be rented, with grooms on site.
New players take an evaluation lesson first, then buy chukker packages or a membership. Players on the field need a current USPA membership. See rates · Ask a question
Watching polo in Washington
Spectators are welcome at La Conner game days and club chukkers for $10 per person at the gate. No dress code, no reservation — bring chairs, food and leashed dogs. It's one of the few places in the state to watch competitive polo rather than a charity exhibition.
Washington's polo season is short. Don't miss it.
