History of Sittin' Pretti.

Sittin’ Pretti was founded in 1989. It was started by few guys in the Everett and north Seattle area. Some of the founding members were Mike Leak, Glenn Estabaya, and Rob (whose last name remains a mystery to me). Throughout the years more members joined such as Danny Hollefreund, Rob Schultz, Annie Gill, Ryan Wilt and Ryan Anderson. All of these members are considered alumni. They made their mark in our club and even though they are no longer either rolling logos or hanging around they are always welcome at club events and to participate and help at our show.

I joined the club in 1996. Since then I have seen the club and the sport go through many changes. When I joined in ‘96 we had not thrown a show as a club in 2 years. I knew that we had to change that. All of the members were really gung ho about starting to plan our show. Since then we had thrown our annual show and have continued to grow.

We have strived as a club to produce the best rides in the Northwest, and the scene in general. Our members are very dedicated, as well as loyal to our club and the sport. Our club carries strict guidelines on the vehicles as well as members. Our rules and membership process are so strict and long, as to weed out the vehicles and people that don’t meet our criteria.

We have helped establish a tradition in the Northwest of quality vehicles. The Northwest has just recently started to receive the attention that it has deserved for a very long time. We are glad to be a part of that along with the other Northwest vehicles and clubs representing the sport in our area.

Our club is going on its 17th year and boasts the longest running club of its type in the entire Northwest. The tradition and streak will continue for many years to come!!
