Seattle Pinball Museum

This guide to the Seattle Pinball Museum opens in a 1976 Manhattan courtroom, where a player named Roger Sharpe changed how the law treated pinball after decades of city crackdowns and sledgehammer raids. It then follows Charlie and Cindy Martin, a couple whose casual after-work collecting habit outgrew their garage and living room by 2008. You'll hear about the Storefronts Seattle program that gave them a shot at this Chinatown space, and the tight deadline they faced to open it. Look for the oldest machine on the floor, dating back to 1961, back when pinball was still officially illegal.
