Everything You Need to Know About Waystone’s Move
Last updated 1/4/2025
When is Waystone’s current location closing?
UPDATED: Our last day of operation in the current space will be Sunday, January 4th. We will plan to close at our normal time (6:00pm).
Why is the current location closing?
Our building has been sold to a developer as part of a large construction project in our neighborhood.
Where is the new location?
We have signed a lease on a new space within the Ballard Square building (2232 NW Market St).
When will Waystone be re-opening?
After months of waiting on permitting, construction has finally begun! Our timeline is still uncertain, but we expect to have more information within the next week. Right now, our best guess is that we will be closed through January. As soon as we get more information, we’ll provide a widespread update.
How can I help?
If you’re reading this, you probably already support us in big ways. That being said, if you want to help out even more, here are a couple of options:
Help us get the new space ready!
Many folks have expressed interest in volunteering to help us out—and we could really use it! This doesn’t just include lifting and moving things—you might also be interested in preparing food for volunteers or helping the community stay connected by planning a group meetup.
If you’re interested in contributing time or expertise in any way, fill out the short form here.
Purchase a gift card to spend at the new location
We have gift cards! You can purchase them in-person, or on our website (and we’ll even ship them for you). They make a great holiday gift for friends at the club, or folks who you might want to rope into our special brand of nerd-dom. Every gift card purchase helps out by giving us a little extra working capital as we go into the move.
Help us avoid debt through our GoFundMe
We launched a GoFundMe in August after creating a preliminary budget and concluding that Waystone would need to take on about $30,000 of debt to complete our move.
Due to our prolonged construction permitting process, the costs of the move have already begun to exceed expectations. Every dollar beyond our initial goal will continue to help us Waystone avoid debt.
How is the community staying connected while Waystone is closed?
We will be rallying folks for social meetups on a bi-weekly basis! Keep an eye on our Events page for more details.
We have some game and hobby-related opportunities that we’re excited to announce once we’ve nailed down the details.
Joining in to help us prepare the new space will be a great way to connect with friends from the club and take part in shaping the next space.
It’s going to be a weird time, but we can use it to connect with each other in new contexts—don’t be afraid to reach out to your friends from the club while the new space is under construction.
Online Hobby Hangouts:
Mondays, 6 to 9pm (hosted by Garrett!)
Tuesdays, 6 to 9pm (hosted by Garrett!)
Sundays, 10am-1pm (hosted by Dustin)
Can I continue to place and pick up Games Workshop orders while Waystone is closed?
Yes! We’ll continue to fulfill orders as normal while Waystone is closed. Members can continue to place order requests, and we will host pickup times each week for anyone to stop in, say hello, and get a sneak peek at the new space while it is under construction.
Designated pickup times:
Fridays, 4:30pm-6:30pm.
More dates to be determined.
Pickup location:
Ballard Square Building
2232 NW Market Street

Free 30-minute parking is available in the paid lot on the north side of the building.
Can I pause or have my membership refunded while Waystone is closed?
Yes. If you’d like to pause your membership or get a refund while we’re closed, just get in touch! Contact us directly via Servo-Skull on Discord, or email info@waystonewargaming.com.
I’m still wondering about another thing!
