Bellevue
Virtual Tour
A natural question people ask about us is 'what does ISA look like?', or, 'what does your facility offer?'. We are preparing several answers for these questions, to address the interests of individuals and different types of groups. At the present time, we hope the following images and captions will offer a small idea of the variety of facilities we have for you, and of the beauty of our little park. Please remember that we only use about 3 acres of the 10 acre property, and that the unused sections are completely naturally wooded, not having been touched in about 100 years. 'Yes, we have a forest'. You may also see other images on our 'Experiences' and 'Natural Environment' pages. Please come and see for yourself. Bring a picnic lunch.
We presently operate 5 separate ranges on the property, with 7 in total. All of these ranges have been successfully and safely used for over 50 years. "Normal members" have access to archery and air-gun on 2 ranges next to the clubhouse, and to our 'lower pistol' (LR) and 'lower rifle' (LR) ranges, located in a ravine accessed by a wooded path down a hillside, or a 'jeep road'. Additional ranges we operate are reserved for "special uses", such as organized events, and include a 'wide and long' training bay, shotgun tactical course, chronograph bay, shotgun trap field, etc. All facilities, and the entire property, are available for private lease, in whole or part.
From our entry gate and the street, our clubhouse and lots of parking. With
large kitchen, 2 toilets, office, and meeting room with space for 30, our
electric or wood-stove heated building is effective for meetings and receptions
of all types.
Down the hill to lower rifle (LR). Yes, unless you wish to use the certified
disabled parking space after driving the jeep road, you have the pleasure of
walking down a lovely, maintained path. Just think; after joining ISA you can
give up your health club membership and have much more fun on our stairs...
Inside the armored rifle shed, you will find movable benches for our 7 lanes,
which also may be used for position shooting. Each lane has available
illumination, electricity, benches for spectators, 'ambiance', and is protected
from rain! For those of you who aren't familiar with the northwest, rain
protection is a big deal.
Looking
downrange to the 100yd target berm. Steep hillside on the left, ravine on the
right, all naturally wooded.
We are the only local place with a 200 yd rifle line...
Outside, viewing the 25yd, 100yd, and 200yd (in the middle..) impact areas.
Looking at the rifle shed from downrange.
Heading back up the hill. Needing to walk up the path provides a natural limit
to the amount of gear that you need to pack.
Half way up the path we find the lower pistol range (LP). This is user
configurable and very private.
We have an armored and covered shooting structure on LP, so you don't have to
stand in the rain. This distance is 25yds.
At the clubhouse, looking out the front gate, we see one of the picnic areas.
You and your family or group would look perfect, here... Remember, this private
park is minutes from Redmond, Kirkland and Bellevue, and 45 minutes from SeaTac
Airport.
The upper pistol range (UP) is our widest training bay. Usable daily for archery
and airgun, it's available by reservation for special firearm or any other
event.
Another view of the front gate and parking that YOU will shortly be using, we
hope.
If you've come this far in the website then you must be interested. Nothing can replace your own eyes, so please come check us out in person.
