In the years since the Game Center's closing, the location changed hands a number of times. We felt it was time to make a good business decision and close the center." Basically, the Game Center was a test facility that cost a lot to operate. It was something the fans came to know and love, but we didn't get enough traffic to justify the cost of running it.

Built to draw in the strong gaming community from the college and the Seattle-area in general, the whole place was actually pretty big. Located near the University of Washington in Seattle, the Wizards of the Coast Gaming Center opened in 1997. While there wasn't much more than a store going on at most, one location was a little bit more.Īnd we mean by "a little bit more" that they had an entire gaming center complete with a full-service restaurant.
