Heard that the Alley just closed for good. That is too bad. We just went there in May for my son’s birthday party and it was nice and the staff was great. Wonder if someone else can take it on and make it work.

That's a bummer. I was worried about that place from the beginning, never seemed like they were on sure footing. Did they ever get all 32 lanes up and running?

Would love to see it reopen. Seems to fill a void.

I am not positive, but I thought when we were there in May all the lanes were open. It was a clean place too. The outside of the building probably could have been refreshed some more, along with the parking lot, but the place was good for the city of Bellevue.

Bummer. I sort of felt we had closed enough bowling alleys around the city that the few that were left would find niche success.

There was chatter on Bellevue Facebook groups that there was some financial impropriety going on here with one of the initial investors.
