On Saturday April 1st Another Castle Arcade Edition in Edmonds will be the location for the latest chance to win NW Pinball and Arcade Show passes

The start time is 7pm (sharp) and the format will be Match Play, MMP Final. There’s a slight twist today because ACAE’s weekly Saturday IFPA 3-strike tournament will still happen except that it will be an afternoon tourney instead (with a 2pm start time). Another Castle Edmonds is always all-age. Details on our calendar (for both events) or on the NWPAS site (Castle Crush only): http://nwpas.wapinball.net/satellite.html

Just The Tap opens this weekend on April 1st in the old Belltown Billiards location

Just The Tap is a new all-ages business opening this weekend at 90 Blanchard St in Belltown. Along with pinball there will be lots of beers, pizza and “immersive fun” (according to their website). We think there will be around 15 pins and will include games not found at either Shorty’s, Jupiter or any of the other nearby locations. Stay tuned…  https://jttsea.com/

a big update to our pinball list happened this past weekend

It was a spring cleaning on the Skill Shot Pinball List this weekend and now we need your help: please give it a look and tell us if you see anything we missed. All of the locations that closed or no longer have pinball have been removed and all of the games have been updated to the best of our ability. We’re getting things ready for an upcoming project and it’d be great if the List was as accurate as possible. Please comment on this post or send us an email if you see any mistakes – thanks!

According to Germain: “…not many people want to play 14 hours in a day so i am going to alternate different formats on my 1st sunday of the month monthly tourney”.
