We had 247 attendees which made WFS 24 the 2nd-biggest one ever, but we had an unbelievable 107 fursuits and 123 registered bowlers which are both records! Special thanks goes out to DJ Recca who stepped in as an emergency replacement for Br00k who was unable to attend, and DandyLions LLC who donated an incredible completed fursuit head "Grumpy Mutt" valued at $750!

Another great When Furballs Strike meet is in the books, our official numbers say we had 243 attendees at WFS 23, including 84 fursuiters! Fantastic turnout!
We were pleased to welcome back DJ Br00k and Kit once again, and they kept the lanes rockin' all afternoon with some awesome beats, and thanks to FurLandia who returned with a dealer's table and also generously donated some memberships to our prize raffle.

When Furballs Strike 22 was a record-breaker! We had 271 attendees officially recorded on our sign-in sheets which eclipsed Furboliche's previous record of 248 set last year. Included in the 271 were an amazing 96 fursuits which is a FurLife record as well, wow! We also had a meet-record 125 bowlers (so we took up exactly half of Kenmore's 50 lanes!).
HUGE thanks to everyone who attended, especially DJ Koda and DJ Recca for stepping up and keeping the beats going all afternoon, everyone who donated prizes to the awesome raffle, Smiles for help taking the official attendance, ChaosReign for his help at the reg desk as always. What an amazing day!

About Us
When Furballs Strike is a fun, fursuit-friendly bowling meet that takes place quarterly in the greater Seattle area. The meet is organized by Kijani through Furlife: Pacific Northwest Furries, a Meetup group with over 2,100 members of the anthropomorphic "furry" fandom.
From its humble beginnings in 2008 with 40 attendees, this meet has evolved into the largest furry bowling gathering on the West Coast, with recent meets reaching more than 200 attendees from all over the state of Washington, Canada, Oregon and even California!
This highly social event is family-friendly and open to furry fans of all ages... and no, you don't need a fursuit to attend! Don't forget your camera!
After bowling ends, there is always a fabulous prize raffle in the party room where lots of gifts are given away as a "thank you" for bowling with us at WFS. Each bowler gets ticket included in their bowling fee, and more can be purchased for just $1 each (or 4 for $3).

Location
When Furballs Strike's permanent home is the wonderful Kenmore Lanes, located near the north shore of Lake Washington in the city of Kenmore, about 15 minutes outside of Seattle.
The address is:
7638 NE Bothell Way
Kenmore, WA 98028
The facility has a very large party room that we use as a check-in and headless area, as well as a smaller side room for the fursuiters to change in. Kenmore is the largest bowling center in the state and has 50 lanes, which is a good thing because our group takes up as many as half the lanes for bowling! They also have a full bar, restaurant and video arcade.
The home of the after-meet social dinner is the Lynnwood, WA Old Country Buffet. Reservations for the buffet are done while RSVPing for the bowling portion of the meet. Usually 60-80 attendees also attend the dinner portion of the meet, which costs $13.25 including a beverage, tax, and gratuity.
