Paintball Station

Paintball Station operates a paintball field focused on objective-driven games rather than last-person-standing elimination. Owner Bob Wiggins designs games where first-time players don't get hunted down—you're important to the field, and being left alone being chased isn't fun.

Capture the Base — Teams race to ring the opponent's bell.

Dictator — Like Capture the Base, but only the Dictator (special vest) can ring the bell. Strategic depth: protect or target the leader.

Medic — A non-armed medic heals teammates. If your gun breaks, you can still play.

Revive — Hit players count to 20 seconds. Teammates have 10 seconds to revive them. High-stakes positioning.

Attack and Defend — Hold your base or assault theirs.

Weekday parties — $40 per person with 200 paintballs, $100 deposit, limited to 3 hours afternoon only. All players use field paint.

Weekend parties — $100 deposit secures your time, 8-player minimum, check-in 3:30pm, play 4pm–6pm (2 hours). Rental guns $40 + $10 barrel sock deposit. Bring your own gun? $25 admission.

Paintball Station 19027 Milltown Road Mount Vernon, WA 98273

Call (360) 445-2571 or email [email protected] to book. Include your name, phone number, date, and time. 24-hour cancellation notice required.

Airsoft admission is $20, second Saturday of each month at 9am. Separate field rules apply.

Bring goggles, waivers (printable from their website), water, food, and an old towel. Wear loose, breathable clothing, sturdy shoes, and a high-neck shirt or scarf. Don't wear hoodies—you'll overheat. Gloves recommended. Paint washes out, so old clothes are fine.

Safety first: goggles and barrel blockers required in staging area. No blind fire, no profanity, no alcohol, no physical contact. Guns chrono at under 280 FPS, 12 balls per second max. Dead players don't talk (no coaching). Surrender option applies if opponent has 20-foot advantage. When hit, yell "HIT" or "OUT," raise your hand, and walk out.

Rental players don't get gun hits (you can't be eliminated by being shot), no bunkering allowed, and field paint only in rentals. Staff helps load paint and refill air tanks—keep an eye on your gauge and refill at 1000 PSI.

Bob Wiggins emphasizes three things: 1) Identify yourself as new. Experienced players will help and tell you what to do. 2) Hold a defensive position early. Guard or hide near your base. Veteran players won't rush a defended position—you have the advantage. 3) Save your paint. Effective range is ~100 feet (6 car lengths), not 200+. Paintballs bounce off at distance. With only 200 in the hopper, make them count. Don't waste shots trying to hit someone across the field.

Be patient, wait for clear shots, and ask questions if the rules aren't clear. Your face is fragile—an accidental hit could scar. Listen to the safety meeting.
