Seattle Skeet & Trap, Inc. began as the "Green Lake Gun Club" back in 1914 and had shooting grounds located at 100th and Meridian Avenue with the clubhouse situated at 6202 Sunnyside Avenue. In 1920 the club changed its name to "Seattle Gun Club" and established a trap shooting range on Foster Island. The State intervened, however, and outlawed shooting firearms within a mile of Lake Washington so the Club procured new shooting grounds adjoining the government reservation at Fort Lawton in 1920. Seattle Gun Club held a State Trap Championship in 1924 at the Fort Lawton site and held the first State Skeet Championship on May 1935. It is not known when the Club bought the property in Redmond and moved there but eventually they sold that property to Cadman Sand & Gravel in 1958. As a condition of sale, a thirty-year lease with Cadman was signed. The club operated as the Seattle Gun Club until 1963 when the name was officially changed the Seattle Skeet & Trap Club.
