In the 90's, Lynnwood underwent Concept Unification, and The Rock-afire was replaced by Munch's Make Believe Band, complete with all of the characters including extras such as Building, Moon, Wink, Pizzacam, and Munch Jr. Chuck E. wore his signature black tuxedo and red derby hat. In 2000, the animatronics were replaced with Cyberamics from the [[Spokane, WA (2301 W Wellesley Ave)]] location (Which relocated to [[Spokane, WA (10007 N Nevada St)]] with a [[Studio C Alpha]]) which they still have to this day. |

3717 196th St Suite 100, Store #3173/624 is a Chuck E. Cheese's located in Lynnwood, Washington.
This location opened as a ShowBiz Pizza Place in August 1986 and is still open today.
Stages
Lynwood opened with a Rock-afire Explosion stage. The Rock-afire would remain until 1991/1992 when they would receive the 1988 remodel and Concept Unification, which involved refurbishing the store, and converted the Rock-afire into the 3-Stage. According to some footage, the store's bots weren't maintained very well. By the mid-late '90s, the stage fell so far into disrepair, that the bots were replaced entirely. The bots were switched out with Spokane, WA's bots when they relocated sometime by 2000. As of 2023, the Cyberamic 3-Stage is still there.

In 1991/1992, Lynwood fell to Concept Unification, which involved (if they didn't get the 1988 remodel) removing all traces of Showbiz Pizza, that means painting most of the walls white, refurbishing the counters, removing Showbiz decorations for Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza decorations, and removing the Rock-afire Explosion in favor of the 3-Stage. According to some footage tracing from 1995, the bots weren't maintained often.
Chuck E. Cheese's era and the 1993 remodel (Late '90s - today)

This included removing all traces of the 1988 remodel, removing older decor for new decor, changing the exterior, refurbished the showroom, likely covered up the windows in the showroom, and refurbished the counter areas. In 2000, because the store's bots were so far into disrepair, the CEI bots were removed/destroyed in the year 2000, and replaced them with Cyberamic bots, which were from the old Spokane store.

Trivia
- This is the last operating Former ShowBiz Pizza Place in Washington State and is the only one that was converted into a Chuck E Cheese. All the others never made it out of the 1980's (The 2nd to last former Showbiz in Washington closed in 1986 which was either the Bellevue, WA (15600 NE 8th St) or Seattle, WA (3605 34th St South) location).
- This was also the first location to use a Phase 3 Backwards Chuck sign.
