Chuck. E Cheese Store Tour (Bellevue, WA) 

Did you know? In the Seattle area, there were a total of four pre-merger ShowBiz Pizza Places, but none of those lasted beyond the 1980s. These were located in Bellevue, Federal Way, Lynnwood and Bremerton. The first three of these opened in 1982, followed by Bremerton in '83. The Federal Way store closed in 1983, the same year the video game crash had hit, while the other three survived the merging with Chuck E. Cheese's. The Bellevue and Bremerton stores closed in 1987, while the Lynnwood store was relocated to 3717 196th St. the year before and was thus the only ShowBiz Pizza store to have opened in the Seattle area post-merger and thus also the only one to have transitioned into Chuck E. Cheese's in 1993. It finally closed its doors this July 23.

Will be visiting this place soon cause I live one hour away from this lol, and I still can't believe there used to be Showbiz pizza in my hometown Bremerton OMG

Bellevue's 1-Stage actually came from the Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Good Hope Rd) Showbiz that closed in 1995. They originally had a Rock-Afire Explosion and then replaced it with a Rocker Stage, then a 1-Stage, then they closed and sent it to Bellevue, which opened in Spring 1996. Oh, and Bellevue isnt technically a standard 1-Stage, as they have a turntable (the platform Chuck E. is standing on). It used to be able to turn around, so the kids would not be confused / scared of there being two Chuck E.'s (walkaround and animatronic). Currently, 4 other CEC locations have 1-Stages with a turntable, those are Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Chase Ave), Dublin, California, Middletown, New Jersey, and Pearl City, Hawaii (which is turned around to the back, meaning the Chuck E. bot is not visisible, but he isnt even in the store anymore.)

Wish this phase of CEC kept the 3rd phase wall art that had elvis, MJ, the Beatles, etc...on it

This stage is higher than me on a Thursday

Thanks for the video! I may visit this location, and was wondering if you know if they still have the animatronics here or not? The animatronics are what set these types of pizzerias apart from others, and I would like to see them if they're still there.

Does this Chuck E. Cheese still have the one stage or has it been remodeled already since this video was filmed??

Good 😂😂😂

the shows pretty cool besides it being off
