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 pinball machines loaned by NWPC members and friends. The Sanctuary is all-ages, all the time!
We have 20+ pinball machines on free play, available to our members and guests 24 hours a day. We also open our doors to the public a few times per month. See below for the next few events, or check out our events page for a full listing.

Open Houses happen each month on the first Saturday from 12-4pm and third Wednesday from 5-9pm.
We invite the public to come check out our community, play some free pinball, and find out about the Collective. Open Houses are also a great opportunity to orient new members and get them set up for ongoing full access to the Sanctuary every day!
Tech Tuesdays happen each month on the first and third Tuesday from 6-9pm.
We invite the more technically-oriented members and interested public to come and watch/learn as we perform repairs and maintenance on our machines.
