So here’s my story: Last year I trashed my meniscuses skiing, and I’m a doctor. I was embarrased, mostly, so I looked for ways to repair them, and it boiled down to skate skiing, ice skating, or roller skating. Since I skated as a kid, not knowing much more than going forward and crossovers, I figured I’d try it again. I found Skate Journeys and Trish, not knowing she is a superstar of skating in the PNW, and bought an entry level skate to try. Then I started learning to skate in my garage on Zoom. My knees haven’t hurt again since I started, and now I’m doing lessons once a week, and skate in a rink once a week. It’s pretty amazing, and now I’m working on transitions, and doing the grapevine, even. My game is definitely elevated, and I’m actually meeting people at the rink. It’s almost as much fun as the crazy skiing I used to do, and cheaper, more accessible, and now because of Skate Journeys, way more interesting. There’s no way I’ll finish learning all they have to teach, and it’s fun being a beginner at something again! Thanks Trish, Naomi, and Mason!

OMG… I’m 64yo and I just had the most fun I’ve had in years. Today I took my first roller skating lesson on in-line skates from Jake at Skate Journeys in Kenmore. Absolutely felt like a kid again. Josh had me skating backwards by the end of 50 minutes (a childhood dream of mine).

They rent you all the equipment (skates, knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards) and teach you in an inside “rink” for your first lesson ($25 – 2nd class FREE). Two of us in the class, and we learned how to fall plus a host of basics in 50 minutes… AND a 15 minute free skate for all levels after the lesson. You have to pass a skills test to move on to the next level…. very cool.

This is a non-profit skate “school” for all ages offered on the weekends in St, Edwards Park-Juanita (Saturdays starting in the fall) and Kirkland (Sundays – summer and fall).

Skate Journeys is an absolute amazing program. Their instructors are very knowledgeable and friendly. They are anxious to help and are interested in seeing you/your kid progress in their learning.

Massive shout out to Trish who has been instrumental with every aspect of the program. From what skates to use, pads, work outside of the program, Trish has been a pleasure to work with.
