The Sequim Picklers were hard at work raising funds for its new courts last week, as a breakfast fundraiser at Applebee’s and silent auction netted about $2,100 for the group.

Sequim Picklers is seeking money to build courts at Carrie Blake Park. With that in mind, the group sold more than 240 advance tickets and wound up serving a little more than 170 meals on Saturday, Sept. 17.

In the afternoon that day, the group held its largest pickleball tournament at the courts adjacent to Sequim Community School, netting another $430.
