Goodbye, Robin Hood Lanes

Many opposed it, but in the end, meetings, rallies, and community activism couldn't stop the closure of Edmonds' bowling alley, Robin Hood Lanes.

MyNorthwest.com's Linda Thomas visited the 50-year-old Edmonds icon on its closing night, talking to patrons and watching as the final pins fell on the business.

It was in 2011 that the longtime owners of the property, the Wuscher Family, sold the site at Edmonds Way and 100th Avenue West to Seven Hills Properties. The bowling alley is managed by Guenther’s Robin Hood Lanes, the current renter of the property.

Construction is scheduled to begin next fall on 14,490 square foot Walgreens, in addition to a 3,373-square-foot bank.

Walgreens has said it would interview current employees for jobs at the new store.
