Home to over 700,000 residents, Seattle has a very large sports betting population. The city is home to the Seattle Seahawks of the NFL, the Seattle Mariners of the MLB, and the Seattle Sounders FC of the MLS. The NHL will be expanding to the city with the Seattle Kraken joining the team for the 2021-22 season. Seattle used to also have an NBA team, but the Seattle SuperSonics left for Oklahoma City in 2008. Teams in four out of five top professional US sports leagues is still very solid for the city.

Sports betting has become popular among Seattle residents over recent years, but I still often receive questions regarding the legality of online sports betting while living in various US cities. On this page I will try to dispel some of the myths surrounding the legality of placing online sports bets from Seattle, as well as provide you with a couple of reputable sportsbooks that accept American residents.

Is Sports Betting Legal In Seattle?

First of all, I want to stress that operating a sportsbook in the state of Washington is currently illegal. This goes for running offline bookmaking services or an online sportsbook that operates out of Washington.

That said, Seattle residents should not worry about being criminally charged for partaking in online sports betting at online betting sites that accept Americans. Although Washington lawmakers do not agree with online gambling in any form, they are not able to enforce their anti-betting laws.

So with that said, you should feel comfortable betting on sports online, so long as you use a well established and reputable online sportsbook that is licensed and regulated outside of the United States. And wouldn’t you know it, I provide two great betting sites that meet that criteria below….

Offline Sports Betting in Seattle

There are still no tribal casinos that have opened sportsbooks at their casinos. It is expected that some Tribes will launch their sportsbooks in spring of 2021. In the meantime if you want to place a bet at a brick and mortar sportsbook you will have to will have to trek down to Nevada.

One thing that Washington State does allow residents to wager on is horse racing. And luckily enough for Seattle residents there is a very popular race track located a half hour drive south of downtown.

Emerald Downs

Emerald Downs is a popular horse racing track located in Auburn, just south of Seattle. It’s a fairly new facility in horse racing terms, having opened just 25 years ago in June of 1996. Emerald Downs replaced Longacres race track, which closed down in 1992, and their biggest race of the year still carries the name of the defunct track. The Longacres Mile is a grade 3 race with a purse of $200,000 that takes place in August.

The track hosts live racing from April to September and you can bet on both the live races and simulcast races from tracks across the country at the venue. In addition to the live racing, Emerald Downs is also home to the Clubhouse Casino, which includes 15 table games that allow patrons to continue to gamble away from the tracks.

***I should also note that you can wager on every live race at Emerald Downs at both of the online sportsbooks I recommended above.
