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! We also have alternate gifts of the FurLife Tote Bag, WFS Drawstring Backpack and WFS Sport Bottle - if you prefer one of those put it in the notes with your payment.
In addition, Ultras will get their FurLife sticker decal upgraded to a cool shiny iridescent holographic design!

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, May 17 at 5:00pm! For now, Dave & Buster's is still doing 1/2 price games on Sunday, so all 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.
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 (Pop The Lock) 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.
Everyfur is responsible for their own bill, but please combine checks if possible to expedite the checkout process. Please note there is a service charge included in everyone's bill since we are a ginormous group.
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 Pop The Lock! Time your button presses to the targets to break the virtual lock! Every target hit earns tickets and hitting all 50 earns a 250-ticket jackpot. Be careful as the game moves much faster towards the end!
There are two Pop The Lock machines back-to-back from each other. 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 Finals! The Finals will be played on one machine, with the top scorer getting to choose which one.
All 4 Finalists will play one more time, with the top score being named the champion! In the case of a tie for top score, they will play a tiebreaker. The Tournament Winner will advance to the Beat the Organizer Challenge, where they will play one game against Kijani. If they beat his score (or jackpot), they will receive a voucher for a free entry to any future When Furballs Strike furbowl, and a tie will receive 5 free WFS raffle tickets.
