3717 196th St Suite 100, Store #3173/624 was a Showbiz Pizza Place/Chuck E. Cheese's located in Lynnwood, Washington that opened in August 1986, and closed on July 23rd, 2023.
This is not to be confused with the Pizza Time Theatre on 18811 28th Ave or the original Showbiz Pizza Place location in the same area.
Stages
Lynwood opened with a Rock-afire Explosion stage which was possibly used at the original location. The Rock-afire would remain until the early 1990s when they would receive Concept Unification.
By the mid-late '90s, the show fell so far into disrepair, that the characters were replaced entirely with the Cyberamics from the closed Spokane store in the year 2000, utilizing both 3-Stage and 2-Stage props on their unique show.
The store was most notable for keeping the original Jasper cosmetic head used at the Spokane store during the 1980s; and for being the first and last of its kind, after the Springfield, MA (Boston Rd) had a similar short-lived concept.
Beginning as early as July 19th, 2023 during the store’s last days of operation, the Chuck E. animatronic was aired down.[1]
History
The Lynnwood, WA store opened in August of 1986 after the closure of the original store. This would later become the last operating Showbiz Pizza Place in Washington state, as the Bellevue and Seattle locations never made it past the 1980s.
This was 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 1980s. (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).
At an unknown point in time, the store received the standard 1986 SPT remodel and most likely received signage from the 18811 28th Ave PTT store around the Concept Unification transitional period.
The store would receive its third and final remodel in the 1990s.
Closure
This location closed on July 23rd, 2023. R.I.P This location will always be in our hearts <3
