When Furballs Strike (WFS) 57 "Furry Pride" - Fursuit Bowling at Kenmore Lanes
When Furballs Strike 57 has been booked for Saturday, June 6th! Being the first weekend of Pride Month, this will be our annual "Furry Pride" furbowl! We have some great giveaways for our attendees and many themed items in our prize raffle.
We brought back the commemorative rainbow wristbands - they are custom printed with "When Furballs Strike 57: Furry Pride" on one side and "FurLife: Pacific NW Furries" on the other. Every registered bowler will get one to celebrate our Furry Pride day on the lanes!
Our Ultrasponsor gift will be a plush Pride Bear! We have nearly 100 6' stuffed bears to give away in each color of the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo (dark purple) and Violet (light purple). Pre-Reg Ultrasponsors will get to choose what color bear they want - just include it in your notes when you send payment. Make sure to pre-reg early for best selection!
In addition, Ultras will get their FurLife sticker decal upgraded to a cool shiny iridescent holographic design. We also have about 10 of the WFS Logo Drawstring Backpacks left as an alternate Ultrasponsor gift, please request in the additional info of your pre-reg payment if you want that instead of the bear.

- Your Telegram handle (for confirmation or questions about your pre-reg, otherwise I will confirm through the app's messaging system)

You may pay for multiple people on the same pre-reg (this is encouraged), just be sure everyone's info is in the notes, and what level reg everyone is getting is clearly noted.
We have been close to selling out of lanes the last several meets so we will be putting up to 6 bowlers per lane, and all lanes will have a minimum of 5 bowlers.
If you pre-reg, there will two separate, much faster-moving lines where you quickly pick up your raffle tickets, gifts and lane assignment. Pre-Reg closes at 11:59pm on Tuesday, June 2. Do not send payments in after the cutoff as you will still have to go to the at-event reg line.
FURSUIT CHANGING/GROUP PHOTO
We have a dedicated room for fursuit changing/storage (behind the party room partition). Please be courteous to other attendees and only use this room if you need to, and try to space out usage so it doesn't overcrowd.
The fursuit group photo begins staging at 2pm before bowling starts. When setting up for the photo please let shorter fursuiters be in the front, and spread out side-to-side as much as possible since the photo is taken as a panoramic. Those in front must either sit or kneel.

Dave & Buster's Arcade Furmeet (Bellevue)
Dave & Buster's Bellevue, 11639 NE 4th St, Bellevue, WA, USOur next Dave & Busters' Arcade Furmeet is all set for Sunday, April 5! For now, Dave & Buster's is still doing 1/2 price games on weekends, so games (arcade & ticket redemption) are 50% off during this meet - your chips will last twice as long! Fursuit heads are not allowed inside the arcade, but feel free to wear ears, tails and furry-related clothing.
Since this is Easter Sunday, all attendees will get a complimentary Easter Egg with surprise goodies inside! These will be given out during the dinner portion of the meet, once everyone is seated. If you need to leave early, come see me during/after the tournament to get your egg.
If it isn't raining, we'll wait outside the main doors on the balcony for everyone to arrive. If the weather is bad we'll meet under the awning near the escalators. At this time you can purchase a Power Card at the front desk or kiosk located on the right side of the main doors if you need to. Once everyone is there (or at 5:15) we will proceed to the Game of the Month (Grand Piano Keys) to do our competition for prizes! After that is done, everyone is free to enjoy gaming as long as they like. Make new friends and play some games together!
Group Dinner/Social Time
If you've never eaten at Dave & Buster's - they have really good food and recently redid their menu with lots of tasty new dishes! Our group Dinner/social time will begin at 6:30pm - please let me know if you plan on staying for food by answering the question when you RSVP, so we can get an accurate headcount for our reservation.
The max reservation allowed at Dave & Buster's without doing a "Special Event" registration (which requires a deposit and minimum spend) is 20 people. I have booked a reservation for 20, but we should be able to fit everyone in if we go over slightly. The first 20 to RSVP "Yes" for the dinner portion will be guaranteed spots, the count will be at the bottom of the meet description and continually updated.
Please only RSVP yes if you can commit to attending the dinner, and if your plans change, please let me know on Telegram or update your RSVP on Meetup as soon as you can.
Also, please combine checks if possible can during dinner to expedite the checkout process!
Game of the Month Competition
As part of each monthly meet, attendees will have the opportunity to enter a fun, friendly, tournament-style competition on one of the games (will be different every meet), with the top finishers taking home prizes! Participation is optional and attendees must use their own credits to play.The Game of the Month for April 2026 will be Grand Piano Keys! For those furry musicians and budding keyboard players, this classic arcade game has been enjoyed for a long time - players are seated at an oversized piano keyboard and must hit one of 4 lit up notes in sequence to play a song. Every correct press earns tickets, and a mistake halts your progress briefly.
Everyone who wants to play will go 2 at a time, and their final score will be recorded. We will take the top 4 scores (and ties) to advance to the Semifinals! The semifinalists will play again, with the top TWO scores heading to our Championship Piano Duel! The winner of the duel will take home a fantastic prize package including some FurLife swag and a plush, with additional prizes for everyone who makes the Top 4.
Prizes
1st Place - FurLife Coaster + WFS Magnet + FurLife Decal + Small Plush
2nd Place - FurLife Coaster + WFS Magnet + FurLife Decal
3rd Place - FurLife Coaster + FurLife Decal
4th Place - FurLife Coaster + FurLife DecalLocation

Dragon's Landing Celebration (Renton)
Dragon's Landing Celebration, S 3rd St. & Wells Ave. S, Renton, WA, USThe Dragon’s Landing Celebration is a fantasy-themed street festival hosted by the Renton Municipal Arts Commission, transforming downtown Renton into a lively realm of creativity, imagination, and community connection. This all-day outdoor event features fantasy-inspired art vendors, interactive experiences, and free activities designed for guests of all ages.
Attendees can expect to see artists, makers, and performers embracing the theme — from medieval and mythical attire to full fantasy costumes. Past celebrations have included live demonstrations such as a sword-fighting arena, adding an immersive and theatrical element to the experience.
Fantasy-themed artists and makers are encouraged to apply to vend at the event. Vendor booth space is $50, and the fee can be waived if the vendor includes a free public activity as part of their booth experience. Whether you come dressed in fur gear, fantasy-themed regalia, or simply to explore, Dragon’s Landing offers a welcoming and whimsical atmosphere where art, storytelling, and community meet.
Meetup Location: The group will meet at the intersection of S. 3rd Street & Wells Ave. in downtown Renton, and everyone can explore the festival and have fun suiting together. I will be at the Renton Pride tent for most of the day, be sure to stop by!
Street parking and public parking garages are available nearby. The Renton Transit Center is just a few blocks away for those using public transportation.
