The West Seattle Arcade, which opened last July is already expanding into a second space one block up the beach at 2820 Alki Ave SW. It’s the space between Locust and Cactus previously occupied by Outer Space the indoor playground space that closed in December.

They will be opening their sister location, Gary’s Place, (named for owner Matt Cichy’s dad who owned and operated arcades around Seattle in the 80’s, 90’s, and early 2000’s).

Gary’s Place will afford the opportunity offer even more to customers. They will be serving beer and snacks, along with an offering of some more classic arcade machines, more rhythm games and a slightly more grown up atmosphere. As an extension of the West Seattle Arcade, Gary’s Place will be all ages, and accept the same Play Cards that they currently use.

 Elyssa Cichy said, "We are working hard to get Gary’s Place up and running as soon as possible, but a lot of the timing will depend on how smoothly the permitting process goes. Follow us on Instagram at @westseattlearcade for updates and opening news!"
