Residents of Parkside Apartments in Redmond, Washington, have easy access to the area's exquisite views and soul-soothing nature hikes... but that doesn't mean you can't go fast sometimes! How about a trip to K1 Speed Seattle for heart-pumping, go-kart racing fun?

ELECTRIC GO-KARTS AND ZERO EMISSIONS

This indoor facility boasts the only environmentally friendly electric karts in the state of Washington. These zero-emission, high-performing machines are not your average amusement park putt-putts. Topping speeds of 40 mph, they really deliver! Drivers enjoy thrilling speeds and tight curves, minus the noise and exhaust fumes of gas-powered karts.

FOR THE COMPETITIVE-AT-HEART

Go for the fun of it, but don't be afraid to compete! Catering to those with a competitive spirit, every kart is equipped with a real-time data logger, broadcasting lap times on the big screen. Racers can track their performances and compare lap times and rankings with other racers, even those at other K1 centers across the country. Take it a step further, and join the Adult Challenge GP league. It's affordable, easy to join, and non-committal.

REFUEL AT THE PADDOCK LOUNGE

Fuel up before, between, or after races in K1's Paddock Lounge. Diners enjoy pizza, pretzels, hot dogs, and nachos, as well as light snacks like cookies, chips, and smoothies. Those 21 years and older (who have finished racing for the day), can choose from a wide selection of beer (domestics, imports, and craft) and wine.

Arrive and Drive races happen five days a week. Admission is easily purchased online for varying price levels. It all begins with a signed waiver and an annual K1 Speed Membership ($7.95) that opens the door to free helmets and head socks as well as a free birthday race and access to your racing data online.
