Please take a look at our pinball list and let us know if it doesn’t match up with the pins at your favorite location. We’re pretty good at keeping informed with the popular spots but really need help with the businesses with only one or two games. Leave a comment here or email us at editor@skill-shot.com

Two new teams are joining MNP this season which means there are now a whopping 30 teams in the league! The new teams are Neuromancers based at Time Warp on Capitol Hill and The B Team at the remodeled/reinvented 4B’s. Georgetown Pizza & Arcade is another new location joining MNP and will host an unprecedented three teams: The Wrecking Crew, Seacorns, and Knight Riders. With the Kraken closing soon their teams are relocating to The Ballard Smoke Shop (Slap Kraken Pop) and as a second 4B’s team (Ball of Cthulhu) .

It’s always sad when local businesses close; especially when it’s locations with great pinball line-ups. Two long time businesses have recently announced their imminent closing (both due to lost leases): Full Tilt Ballard, whose last day is January 29th and The Kraken Bar & Lounge, which will close on March 4th. We’re sorry to see them go but hopefully both the businesses and the operators who have games there will find new homes in the near future.
The Kraken’s Still Drunk Sundays pinball tournament will continue until further notice: still-drunk-sundays
