Club Sapphire

Club Sapphire describes itself as “a private club for consensual, non-monogamous members.” It hosts parties at its Tukwila, Washington venue, between Seattle, Bellevue and SeaTac Airport, is primarily a couples' club that also welcomes singles, and requires a membership to attend. Parties run Wednesday through Saturday. It has about 10,000 square feet of party space, with a dance floor, a DJ and playrooms, from multi-bed group rooms to one- or two-bed rooms, plus a room for voyeurs. There is a co-ed locker room, a co-ed shower, towels, free parking, a light buffet and free sodas, coffee, tea and water. The Side Piece Lounge, a speakeasy inside the club, has a bar and three rooms with seating for 8, 10 and 12. Guests must be 21 or older with photo ID, and new members complete a brief orientation at their first event. Singles are welcome, though approved single men may attend only in limited numbers when single female attendance allows, with a confirmed ticket after a mandatory orientation. Dress is for a night on the town: baggy sweats, dirty clothing, casual wear and baseball hats are not allowed. House rules require permission before touching, ban illegal drugs and weapons, deny entry to anyone who arrives intoxicated, and prohibit photography or phone use in social areas and playrooms.
