The United States Tennis Association Pacific Northwest (USTA PNW), the governing body for tennis in the region, was established in 1904, evolving from the North Pacific International Lawn Tennis Association, but this is different from the USPTA (United States Professional Tennis Association) which focuses on coaching certifications and itself underwent a rebrand in 2024 to the RSPA (Racquet Sports Professionals Association), so the PNW arm is very old, but the coaching organization has a separate, later history. 

Key Dates & Entities:

• 1904: North Pacific International Lawn Tennis Association formed (later USTA PNW).

• 2024: USPTA rebranded to Racquet Sports Professionals Association (RSPA).
