About the Hall of Fame

In recognition of the many individual contributions to athletics, the Tacoma Athletic Commission established the State of Washington Sports Hall of Fame in the early 1960's. Commissioned by then-governor Albert Rosellini, the shrine was originated by Clay Huntington, longtime Northwest sportscaster and radio station owner.

Sports Hall of Fame members are recognized for their outstanding sports accomplishments and contributions

that have brought national acclaim to themselves and to

the State of Washington. A distinguished panel nominates

a number of candidates annually who in turn are voted to

the shrine by top sportswriters and sportscasters from throughout the state. To qualify for membership, a nominee must be at least five years in retirement from the sport

involved.
