The Arcade

rhythm gaming and more in Seattle's SODO district

The Arcade

Tucked away in an office building off 4th Ave in SODO is a hidden 2nd floor Japanese arcade. The Nest works like a 24 Fitness or private gym — get a membership and come anytime. We also have Open Arcade Hours and Freeplay Nights where you can check out the arcade without a membership.

Getting Here

Take the Light Rail to SODO Station, walk to 4th Avenue, then head toward Orient Express — the Chinese restaurant and karaoke in yellow train cars. Right behind it is a blue building at 270 S. Hanford St. Enter from the south side through the double doors, go upstairs, turn right, and walk all the way to the end of the hallway. You'll see The Nest!
