Lazeye89 Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Sorry if there is a page where this topic is addressed but I am brand new to this forum. I am moving from the Midwest to the Seattle/Tacoma area in mid August. I have been googling gaming communities and game shops in the Seattle/Tacoma area and I am seeing a lot of board game/bar and food establishments which look cool enough but not really any mini focused stores with good tables from what i can see, beside the GW store north of Seattle. Are there any communities of stores that you all recommend a big 40k player plus many other mini games should check out? side note: the other games I am playing and looking for a supporting shop or players for include - Battle Fleet Gothic, Dystopian Wars, Malifaux, Monster Apocalypse, and War of the Ring. I know many of these games have gone unsupported for many years and are not very popular but fingers crossed. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 I only make it in for events, usually, so I don't know what the pickup game scene is like, but I've had a lot of fun at Cardkingdom/Mox Boarding House (Ballard or Bellevue), Terracrux (Tacoma), Game Matrix (Tacoma), and Game Wizard/Blue Sky Hobbies (Bremerton). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skkipper Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Mugu games in Everett has a huge 40k presence. PFC games in Edmonds is friendly place and a nice discount program. There are a lot of places you just need to find one that works for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edosaurus Rex Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 If you ever make it to Olympia, check out Olympic Cards and Comics! It's easily my favorite game store in western Washington. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I didn't mention it is that I was sticking with stuff closer to Seattle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PourSpelur Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Quadrupled! Where you looking at settling down? Seattle to Tacoma is a pretty big stretch of land. I moved to the Tacoma area from the Seattle area about 8 years ago and into Tacoma proper about 3 years after that. Best decision ever. Really love this place, highly recommend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Lazwye, one thing you might want to do is free up your Thursday evenings. Thursday nights are 40K heavy at Meeples Games in West Seattle, Card Kingdom/Mox Boarding House in Ballard (north Seattle), Heroic Knight Games in Issaquah (at least this used to be the case--I haven't been over there in awhile), and Mugu Games Everett. Most of these gaming stores have Facebook pages you can use to schedule a game although you can often just show up on a Thursday and stand a decent chance of getting in a pickup game. I live eastside (eg east of Lake Washington) so my preference is to go north to Mugu Everett or south to Heroic Knights. Both crowds are very nice although Mugu is more competitive and Heroic Knights is a bit more casual. And it goes without saying that next year you should try to make it down to the Ordo Fanaticus Club Challenge tournament held in July/Augustish in my hometown of Vancouver, Washington. It's a fun weekend full of casual, friendly 40K. I also encourage you to stay an extra day and enjoy Vancouver's claims to fame: a reconstructed version of Hudson Bay Companies' original fort as well as Pearson airfield, containing a great museum of early flight era memorabilia. Welcome to the Pacific Northwest! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the Pacific Northwest! Honestly, come down for OFCC and watch and see what it's all about. It's a sight to behold all unto itself. Even if you aren't participating directly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
