Blue Highway Games - Seattle, Washington

Kim Bamburak

Love the vibe and also how all the games are organized. The staff recommendation stickers are also really helpful. We stayed a few hours to play games and I wish the board game stores back home were like this. I also loved their library of games to play from and their upstairs section of preloved games.
Staff and service 10/10
Selection 10/10
Vibes 10/10.
Thanks for the fun folks!

I love Blue Highway!! Been in a few times to utilize the game library and staff are friendly and enthusiastic about helping us find the right game no matter how vague or silly our requests are - “something with cute little pieces and fast to learn” or “something that will make us laugh but also use strategy but also can be played in under 30 minutes” or even “we like cats. what do you have with cats”.

They really do have something for everyone, and it’s so nice to have a spot in the neighborhood that’s open well into the evening where you can do something other than spend money and drink! (Although they do have a small selection of beers and sodas at the counter!) most of the times we’ve stopped by have been weekend evenings and it’s never too crowded despite the array of event they host. I try to always leave a tip because having access to their fantastic library, cozy atmosphere, and welcoming staff *for free* is TOO MUCH!

Blue Highway has brought back the joy of real world games for me! And if you, like me, have a limited budget but hunger for games to furnish your home after sampling from the library, the loft has a nice selection of discounted secondhand games. I can’t say enough good things about Blue Highway. We are very lucky to have a great small business (yay third places!!) like this in Queen Anne ?

My nerdy husband loves board games so I found this place and visited during this trip. In S.Korea the playing places are common, but offline stores are rare. I love that people in that area have this kind of warm and playful place. He is not very good at English, but he talked to staff and understood which I didn’t. lovely overall.

One of the best board games store I've been. A ton of different games and the employees are very polite and helpful. Totally recommend!!

Could not recommend more! They're super helpful and have a great selection. You can also play board games with no cover charge and bring in outside food.

Everything a board game store should be. Fantastic selection of board games and puzzles. They also sell puzzle books, kites, brain teasers, and Magic cards. Staff is helpful but not pushy.

A welcoming, casual atmosphere. The store itself is lovely. Great for those who want fun rather than competition.

I enjoyed playing here. It's a very nice store. Unique, in my experience, is the wood paneling, doors, and loft. I haven't seen that in a gaming store before. The staff was friendly. The vibe is play for fun rather than play to win.
I played Casual Commander against a trip of regulars. They were good guys. My commander deck has some older value cards which, while legal, weren't unanimously well received. I think the reason was that they were too competitive, which maybe they were for an event that was explicitly casual.
I would definitely recommend this store to those looking for a chill experience and wouldn't recommend it to people who are into competitive play.
There weren't a ton of singles or a huge variety of sealed product, but they did have those things. This isn't unusual for a store that also has a large portion of its space dedicated to boardgames etc.

Visiting Seattle of business and had some time to explore. Great store! Staff was extremely helpful and fun to talk with. My first game store I stopped and and there won’t be a second! Hate I missed Commander night.
