Virtual Hobby Workshop! On Saturday January 25th we are hosting SWORD OF POWER, a workshop on paint blending for miniatures. Something we often see is folks talking about how hard it is to execute blends. Even following youtube tutorials, getting that perfect power sword can be really tough.

The hobby workshop workshop is just 90 minutes, and will go over a couple different blending techniques. is the instructor, and he's an incredibly experienced and knowledgeable painter who will be interacting with the group throughout the workshop, so you'll have a chance to follow along, ask questions, and get feedback in real time.

If it sounds fun to have a little evening experience to sharpen your hobby skills from the comfort of your home, CHECK IT OUT! Link in bio.

Our friend, community-member, longtime chef and local Death Guard enthusiast, Ed has been working on launching his own sandwich business. Last Sunday, after months of designing a menu, acquiring equipment, logo design and more, he finally fired up his little oven outside of Waystone.

The space was filled with the delicious smell of hickory-fired chopped cheese and waldorf salad sandwiches on fluffy sandwich rolls. Unsurprisingly, he sold out of ingredients within *two hours*.

At the end of the day we shared a misty-eyed hug. Launching something like this is risky and terrifying. Beyond the practical and financial challenges, you end up putting so much of yourself into it. It was awesome to see how our community has rallied to share enthusiasm for what Ed's doing--this sort of community support is what keeps us going, too, and ultimately allows rich, local projects to carry on.

His sandwich cart, JJ's is a true smallest of the small, business. If you see him around, grab a sandwich!

You'll likely be able to catch him outside Waystone on Sundays at lunchtime and elsewhere around Ballard throughout the week but to get updates from the source, follow him over at ♥️🥪

We just sent out a newsletter going over some fun new updates. The biggest one details the opening of the Waystone Annex, a new game space with three additional tables and a 24-Hour Access option. We're also beginning to book private events for the summer and looking forward to our very first Battletech event!

BJ at gifted us this beautiful wall mounted record display shelf!

It's been fun seeing folks fill out the vinyl record collection in the Waystone Annex and now we can display whatever is spinning properly. 😊

After years of lightheartedly joking about taking over the Allstate office next door, it has actually happened. With a ton of support from our partners and friends and most importantly the whole Waystone community, the Annex is here!

It's a quieter, more spacious, and mostly unstaffed space that members can book for games. Folks who have been members for a while can also apply for 24-hour access.

It's strange to think how absurdly luxurious we're making this whole dice rolling and playing with toys thing, especially when just a few years ago we were happily playing "butt to butt" (as puts it). 😆

Thanks to for building us these incredible tables. .for.the.kell.of.it and for transforming the space from a dull office into something beautiful, and for holding down so many aspects of the club while scattered our brains across two separate spaces and to everyone who encouraged us, assembled stools and lockers, and told us they had our back through this last tumultuous month!

Yes this is real. No it was not meant to be an April Fool's joke.

We had another set of plumbers look at the issue today and they found what we believe to be the (ridiculous yet simple) source of our water problem: An improperly installed sink drain from the previous tenant.

That's now been fixed!

If you were looking forward to one of the meetups we had planned while Waystone was closed, we encourage you to still get together with folks at those places/times, however our staff will be back at their regularly scheduled duties and no longer able to facilitate. 🤖

This is going to be the biggest step we've made since opening! Check out the details of our expanded space in the latest blog post:

Waystone is taking on a whole new wing in April. Get those sweet deets.
