Get ready for a blast from the past with a modern twist at Gary’s Place, a new game arcade from the owners of West Seattle Arcade, set to celebrate its grand opening on December 19th. Located at 2820 Alki Ave SW, Suite 2, Gary’s Place promises an exciting array of games and a fantastic experience for all ages.
With 33 games on offer, visitors can enjoy timeless classics like Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Asteroids, alongside popular Japanese rhythm games like DDR. Pinball enthusiasts will be thrilled with the lineup, featuring machines like Labyrinth, Uncanny X-MEN Premium, and Pulp Fiction. The arcade boasts a diverse collection, with the oldest game dating back to the late 1970s and the newest released just last month.
Co-Owner Elyssa Cichy expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “Just like at the West Seattle Arcade, we will always be updating and changing our game room to keep it interesting.”

Visitors can also enjoy a delicious array of snacks, including pizza served quickly from a special oven, fries, mozzarella sticks, soft pretzels, and more. For those of legal drinking age, beer will be available in bottles and cans. Gary’s Place welcomes everyone but asks that minors be accompanied by an adult.
Co-Owner Matt Cichy said, “The name sake of Gary’s Place is my dad who taught me everything I know. I’m excited to continue his legacy.”
The arcade's operating hours are:
Monday to Thursday: 12 PM - 11 PM
Friday: 12 PM - 12 AM
Saturday: 11 AM - 12 AM
Sunday: 11 AM - 11 PM
While private parties will soon be available at Gary’s Place, they are not currently offered. Play Cards from West Seattle Arcade will work at both locations, making it easy for patrons to enjoy games across both venues.
