Washington State Senior Games schedule Olympia events beginning Aug. 6
The 2026 Washington State Senior Games are scheduled to begin Thursday, Aug. 6, with competition listed at The Olympia Center in Olympia and other Olympia-area locations.
The multisport amateur event is scheduled to run through Aug. 15. Its published entry materials list both individual and doubles sports, establishing a competition schedule that extends across multiple days rather than a single tournament date.
Women’s doubles listed for opening day
Women’s doubles is listed on the schedule for Aug. 6, the first day of the games. Additional competition is listed for Aug. 8.
The published materials identify The Olympia Center as a Senior Games venue. That gives Olympia a confirmed role in the 2026 schedule and places part of the statewide event at a local facility during the first half of August.
The schedule’s inclusion of individual and doubles disciplines means athletes are entering events with different competition formats. The entry materials, however, do not provide a complete consolidated attendance total or a final participant count for the games.
Venue assignments remain important
Olympia is included in the schedule, but the available entry materials do not establish that every Washington State Senior Games event will take place in Olympia. Some competitions may be assigned to locations outside the city.
That distinction matters for competitors and spectators planning for a particular discipline. The Olympia Center’s listing confirms it as a venue, while the venue for an individual event should be checked against the published schedule before travel or attendance plans are made.
The next scheduled Senior Games date is Aug. 6, when women’s doubles is listed to begin. Competition is then scheduled to continue during the following days, including the Aug. 8 events, before the Aug. 15 end date.
Separate youth basketball camp scheduled Aug. 10
A separate youth basketball program is also listed in the Olympia area during the Senior Games period. Skyhawks Sports has scheduled a basketball camp for Aug. 10 at the Lacey Regional Athletic Complex.
The Skyhawks program is aimed at athletes ages 6-12 and emphasizes basketball skills and sportsmanship. It is not identified in the supplied materials as part of the Washington State Senior Games, which list their own individual and doubles competition schedule.
Together, the listings place both a statewide senior-sports competition and a youth basketball activity on the area’s August sports calendar, while remaining separate programs with different venues and participants.
