----------
WFS 27 was a blast! A little lighter turnout due to Mother's Day Weekend and Everfree NW going on at the same time, but still a great crowd of 238 FurLifers 93 fursuiters attended and partied it up at Kenmore. We had representatives from Anthro NW and Furvana there, as well as our WFS resident DJs Br00k and Kitsune rocking the house all afternoon with some great beats.
Check out our meet video in the "History & Videos" section and hope to see you all at WFS 28 in August!

WFS 26 was yet another record-breaker!!! We had 308 official attendees (including a group that came up from the San Francisco area JUST for the meet!) and 140 fursuiters on our official sheet which breaks our previous mark of 297 and 123 from WFS 25. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we could reach the magic number of 300, that is just incredible, it was a big day for our FurLife community. Check out our meet video in the "WFS History & Videos" section, and I've uploaded some new pics to the photo gallery (including the group photo!)
Huge thanks to ChaosReign and Hubcap for help at the Reg Desk, Smiles for taking the attendance and DJ Br00k for doing a fantastic job once again as the WFS DJ. Plus all of our representatives from Anthro NW, FurLandia and Furvana who took the time to meet guests and answer questions, your attendance at WFS is greatly appreciated!
Finally due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback about our new dinner location Super China Buffet, it will be the permanent home of the WFS dinner. It is a little more expensive, but the quality of food is much better than Old Country Buffet and the private party room is pretty awesome!

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 2,300 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 a ticket included in their bowling fee, and more can be purchased for just $1 each (or 5 for $4).

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 new location for the WFS post-meet dinner is: Super China Buffet in Shoreline, address is 15323 Westminster Way N. Cost is $16, including everything - Buffet, beverage, tax and tip. We have their giant party room reserved for our group, it's located on the left side of the restaurant up a small ramp.
