BIZNOTE FOLLOWUP: West Seattle Arcade now open!

Elyssa and Matthew Cichy are welcoming players into their newly opened West Seattle Arcade at 2758 Alki Avenue SW! Today is the second official day of business, six months after we first reported on their plan. We stopped in last night for pics. You’ll find a wide variety of games, from classic arcade fare …

… to games brought in from Japan:

And if you want to try your claw-machine luck …

You can go see for yourself right now – hours are 11 am-10 pm Mondays-Thursdays, 11 am-11 pm Fridays, 10 am-11 pm Saturdays, 10 am-10 pm Sundays. As noted in our original January report, they’re also offering birthday-party space.

    Woooo! Anyone know if they serve beer?

      Just called. Sadly, they don’t have any food or refreshments.

    I just walked by, and the Arcade appeared to be very busy and, with the doors open, you could hear how incredibly loud some of the games were. It made me wonder about the people who moved into the newly built units above (before anyone knew an arcade was coming), and if plenty of sound proofing was installed between the floors.

    Such a blast! My son and I blew $20 there today with lots of laughter and I don’t regret a penny of it. Although we’ll definitely have to create an arcade budget for the future, this can add up quick. Thanks for bringing it to Alki!

    Stop complaining and just be happy we have a beach arcade.

    Spent a solid $15 winning one of those Cup Noodles stuffies with my boys. No regrets! Although a beer would be nice.

    This is so awesome! I can’t wait to visit! Now we need miniature golf 😁

    This place is AWESOME! They packed in a lot of incredible games & some nostalgic options (skee ball, air hockey, pinball machines!). I understand the desire for food and drinks, but I don’t think there is much space to put that in. What a fun addition to Alki Beach, love it! 

Sorry, comment time is over.
