Leilani Lanes

Seattle, Washington, United States

This Seattle landmark opened in 1961.

There was a large tiki at the entrance, two small tiki masks at the front desk, modern purple painted tikis on the side walls, and most remarkably, three large Witco pieces near the bathrooms on the bar side of the bowling alley. Some more Witco could be seen peering up from the offices behind the scenes. Aside from the bathrooms, there was no evidence of tiki remaining in the bar area, although there likely was at some point in time. The bar area did have a freestanding hammered metal fireplace and small operating water feature, however.

In October 2005 the alley was slated to be demolished to make way for a massive apartment & retail complex. It closed in 2006 and was demolished in November of 2007.
