About
Located in Seattle’s Chinatown are 54 classic pinball machines all waiting to be played.
The collection, which spans over six decades, is arranged in chronological order. The oldest, Texan, was made in 1960. It all started as a married couple’s personal home collection (they call pinball collecting “an incurable disease”). The museum has also hosted some unique, artist-created machines, all fully playable. As a labor of love, both the owners continue to hold down regular jobs while running the pinball museum on the side.
