When I was looking for some indoor activities to get away from the rain I was pleasantly surprised…read moreto see that UW has bowling alleys on their campus! Not only do they have bowling but they also have board games, arcade games, and pool tables all for the enjoyment of students. I came here just for their bowling but it looked so fun I might just come back for their other activities. For bowling they allow you to play by the game or by the hour. They also allow you to book all 12 lanes for a private event. All of the prices are on their website and they were all pretty reasonable. They also have discounts for faculty, staff, and students. We played three games with two pairs of shoe rentals and the total came out to be about $30 with a UW staff discount. Our lane malfunctioned once but one of the workers was swift in helping us resolve the problem so we could continue having our fun. The facilities were pretty clean and overall we both had a great time. Most people were students but even as a visitor I still felt welcomed. It made me feel old being in the college atmosphere around all these youngins but at the same time I felt like I looked like them and probably could've fit right in. One thing that made me feel old though: the worker at the front asked for my ID and my mind defaulted to my driver's license and the worker replied, "Oh, I meant your student ID." Ouch.

If you're a multi-format, physical media lover, you've reached heaven. In an era when video stores…read moreceased to exist due to a gross miscalculation of the need for cloud infrastructure, Scarecrow Video restores the lost order. The films I checked out were The Visitors and Cast a Deadly Spell (part of the H.P. Lovecraft series) both perfect picks that I never would've stumbled on through an algorithm. Not to mention, there is a HUGE array of specialty and genre-specific films that can only be found on Blu-ray and/or DVD. And that's before you even get to the VHS and Laserdisc sections, which are very much alive and well here. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and warm, and they clearly enjoy where they work. I personally love their custom system of film organization sections broken down by theme, country, and some genuinely inspired niche categories that you won't find anywhere else. Also, the privately curated, rare graphic zines at the check-out counter are absolutely worth a glance. What's easy to overlook? This place is a registered nonprofit and the largest independent physical media library in the country, with over 150,000 titles. Many are out of print and flat-out unstreamable, titles that don't exist on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, or anywhere else combined. Supporting a membership here isn't just convenient, it's genuinely keeping film history alive.

My fiance and I went in here when it first opened. We live nearby and were really excited that a…read morenew gaming store was opening up close to us, and figured we would give it a shot. We walked in the front door and there were groups of people playing board games and video games. Not a single person looked up to greet us, or even acknowledge us. They continued to play their games and ignored us. We stood there for a few minutes waiting to see if anyone would even LOOK in our direction to no avail. We looked around, didn't see many board games for sale, still not a single person said hello. I looked at him, he looked at me, and we promptly left. I will never go here again. I have never in my life walked into a game store and felt so unwelcome! It's great to have a place to play games and all that jazz, but I really think the employees should be able to stop playing a game for a moment and work on at least saying hello to their customers... I would rather travel over to Queen Anne or Greenwood.. Or heck, REDMOND if I have to for a look at their board games/card games. Save yourself the awkward trip and go elsewhere.

This place has a huge sign outside that says "Tamales for Sale" on Friday, Saturday and Sunday…read more Twice I have parked, gone in on the appropriate days and asked about the price so I could by a dozen tamales. The answer from the lady at the counter? "We don't have any." I then ask when will you some tomorrow? I got a curt, cold answer...No. I then asked, if not tomorrow when? Next week. This is the second time I have gone in this store and was met with a cold, constipated attitude. I happen to be a Native Spanish speaker (and professional translator) so the language was not a problem. The entire staff in my experience are in dire need of enemas.

I hired Game Truck to deliver an online gaming experience for my daughters 10th birthday. And boy…read moredid they deliver. The game counselors are punctual, professional and most importantly really good at working with kids. We had 17 kids total, ranging in age from 4-11 piled up in our playroom. Game Truck brought 20 Nintendo Switches and every kid got to pick not only which game they wanted to play (Fortnite, Minecraft, Mario Kart,, etc) but whether or not they wanted to play with other kids or on their own. That last detail is crucial. Some kids just want to build in Minecraft without the threat of another kid destroying their creation, or explore Fortnite without the threat of sniper fire. During the 1.5 hours of play, I checked on the kids periodically because it was so quiet. Every time I checked the kids were happy and calm, laying on their tummies or against the couch just soaking up the experience. Thank you Game Truck for making my daughters Fortnite-themed birthday a huge success! What an unforgettable evening!!!!
