I just wanted to let you know that there is a Gracie Barra school lacated in Lake Stevens, WA. The name of the School is North Sound BJJ. It would be a fairly long drive, however the school has very open minded Black and Brown belt instructors. The training during the week is in the Gi, however Saturday mornings are open mat for No-Gi. You would also be able to find training partners to work your No-Gi game. The people in this school just simlpy love grappling and are not hung up on tradition.
