This used to be Arnold's Arcade in Seattle's U-District. I bought pot and played pinball and arcade games here all the time, as well as at Space Port up the street.

Quoted from HughesDForce:

No, they closed the Fun Forest down a long time ago =(.

Yeah, luckily for us Seattle is thriving with tons of arcades and pinball bars now with much better maintained machines. About 10 years ago a guy put up a for sale ad that had all the games from the Fun Forest of the early 80s in his basement and barn up in Goldbar, WA. They'd all been sitting there mostly untouched for for 25 years, I grabbed one, here are some pics, lots of old EM shooting and driving games and early arcade games, not a lot of pins:
