West Seattle Arcade scores major points for family fun on Alki; Grand opening July 17

Most great business ideas meet a need and that's so clearly the case with the West Seattle Arcade. Owners Matt and Elyssa Cichy drew on Matt's background both in arcades and technical expertise and Elyssa's retail experience and understanding of family dynamics to create the new business. Located in the former Top Pot Doughnuts location at 2758 Alki Ave SW the arcade is a feast for the eyes and ears.

It's set to open Monday July 17. 

So many different games are available it's a challenge to catalog them all. Among them are driving games, pure video games, prize games, sports games, classic and new pinball games, dance games, claw games and some that defy description.

MOTO Pizza serving Crab Pizza at the All-Star game

When baseball fans crowd into T-Mobile Park for Major League Baseball's All Star Game Tuesday night they will find something they are unlikely to see anywhere else. Crab Pizza.

It's the creation of Lee Kindell of Moto Pizza, who has built a reputation for unusual and unusually delicious pizza combinations he likes to refer to as "Odd Pizza" . In the run up to the big game he said he has been selling out, with fans gobbling up 1500 slices. The crab pizza isn't just crab on a crust. It's Fresh Dungeness crab, MOTO cheese blend, butter, dill, lemon, thyme, and sea salt.
