About the Snoqualmie Valley Rifle Club
The Snoqualmie Valley Rifle Club (SVRC) is a non-profit, member-supported organization of
more than 1,200 members dedicated to the responsible enjoyment, education, and preservation of
the shooting sports.
We are proudly affiliated with the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Civilian
Marksmanship Program (CMP), and we actively support many NRA initiatives — including
youth development programs and the Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program, which teaches firearm
safety in schools.
All SVRC members are also required to hold membership in at least one organization that
supports our Second Amendment rights. A list of qualifying organizations can be found on our
2nd Amendment Advocacy page.
Our History:
Incorporated in 1946, the Snoqualmie Valley Rifle Club has been an established part of the
community for more than 60 years — but our roots go back even further. Shortly after World
War I, returning veterans began gathering in the Snoqualmie Valley to maintain their rifle skills
and camaraderie.
Historical records, including the Snoqualmie City Council minutes dated January 24, 1927,
confirm these early gatherings and highlight our deep local heritage.
Our Mission Today:
That same spirit of skill, safety, and fellowship continues today. SVRC hosts monthly
competitions across a wide variety of rifle and pistol disciplines, offering a safe, scenic, and
welcoming environment for all shooting enthusiasts.
Members come to:
Sight in hunting rifles and improve marksmanship
Participate in friendly and competitive shooting events
Take certified firearms safety and education courses
Enjoy the camaraderie of a vibrant shooting community
Our Juniors Program builds safety awareness and marksmanship skills for young shooters,
while specialty events like Blackpowder matches bring history to life in a fun, family-friendly
atmosphere.
