I would be very happy to help fellow Pinsiders find accommodations and amenities (and other goodies for the Dudes amongst us) in Seattle. Just let me know if you're coming this way and I'll take you on the Big Tour, which will probably include a couple of collector's caves!
Julie Gray of Seattle got 9th in the Open Competition. Cayle George lives here too.
There were a few pinballers who were miffed that videogames and pinballs were being mixed at the Seattle show this year, but big deal! That's how the arcades were back then. Mix of DMDs and EMs. Every Bally System 11 game was there this year.
