Pickleball, Washington's official state sport, is gaining popularity nationwide but also leading to more injuries. Stretching, proper equipment, and lessons can prevent 'pickleball elbow.'
Though Pickleball has been around since the 1960s, many may be surprised to find out that it was invented right here in Washington state.
Pickleball, if you're not familiar, is a little like tennis or ping-pong. Not as fast or as 'hard core' as tennis but also not as precise as ping-pong...
These inventors changed the world for the better, what they all have in common is they're from the great state of Washington. I'm sure you'll recognize a few.
