Union St., Seattle, WA Owner: Capitol Hill Housing held its first national tournament there in 1933. The founders were fun-loving and competitive African Americans whose previous efforts to play tourna- ment bridge were frustrated by the overt racial dis- crimination of the time. With a membership of ap- proximately 3,000, there are over 100 ABA clubs in 25 states. The ABA advocates bridge competitions and sponsors tournaments for playing duplicate bridge throughout the United States. In addition, educa- tion is a high priority and the ABA awards 24 college scholarships annually. The ABA is divided geograph- ically and Washington, Oregon and Alaska comprise the Northwestern Section, which is hosting this event. Organizers are expecting bridge players from across the country to attend and urge local bridge players to participate in this competition as well.
