Interlake Sporting Association started as the Interlake Rod and Gun Club on April 3, 1947. Local hunters and fishermen met on Crawford Warren's forested property east of Kirkland to prepare for hunting season and hold shooting competitions. The organization incorporated as a 501(c)(7) non-profit on May 2, 1950, and has operated continuously from the same Redmond location since Dr. Warren sold the land to ISA on August 1, 1951.
ISA operates multiple shooting disciplines on a natural ravine property that provides enhanced safety:
The property's natural ravine design means shooters are surrounded by earth hillsides, making it one of the safest outdoor ranges in the region.
Interlake is private and members-only, but operates public events throughout the year. Here's how membership works:
| Membership Type | Cost | Details |
