Manifold Motion's Miscellenea II Wraps Up Tonight
Skate King was the venue of choice for this Seattlest's elementary and middle school-sponsored events, as well as for countless cruel friends' birthday parties. Over all those years of practice, did we ever really catch the knack for rollerskating? No. Did the flat stench of the soda-sticky carpets, the feel of waxy pizza cheese on our tongues, and the tinny strains of Ace of Base's "I Saw The Sign" omnipresent at this place ever truly leave our heart and memory? Of course not!
Given how many hours we spent staring at the details of Skate King's Seattle-ish mural while we inched along the railings, this short video we found made us irrationally happy and reasonably nostalgic. Surely we're not alone:

I only know of one rollerskating rink that still operates in my hometown. Are there any in Seattle that are open?
There's one up in Lynnwood -- Rollaway Skate Center. I don't know of any in Seattle proper, though! How sad.
Katelyn,
We probably ran into eachother there, because I too was forced was to rollerskate horribly at Skate King for almost every birthday party between the ages of 6-12.
Ha!
in my mind Skate King is way sexier than that.
