Welcome to the Northwest Pinball Collective (NWPC). We are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit located in Seattle, Washington. Our mission is to provide a shared space to celebrate, nurture, and expand the pinball hobby, in all its forms, through education, service, and community.
NWPC operates a membership-based community space in north Seattle called The Sanctuary of the Silver Ball for showcasing, playing, and maintaining the pinball machines of our members. The Sanctuary is all-ages, all the time!
The Sanctuary hosts 20+ free play pinball machines available for our members and their guests with 24-hour, secured access. Limited public event times can be found on our events page.
