There are two Pool Halls near you, Full Splice Billiards which is my room which is located as 9324 South Tacoma Way, Lakewood wa 98499 and Malarkeys formally City Lights Billiards, which is located at the corner of 6th street and Tacoma Ave in Tacoma.
There are additional rooms North of Tacoma and some real nice ones also.
If you get a chance stop by my room and say hello, it is close to your location.
You should check out onthebreaknews.com to see what's going on in Washington. For a fellow azb plug, you should also go play in the Full Splice tournament tomorrow afternoon. :grin:
From what I've heard, Washington has a pretty good pool scene.
Full splice is a great room. Malarkeys has action but I don't like the tables. You would be doing yourself a great diservice if you didn't call World champion Dan Louie up and take some lessons from him ($60 an hour) at Parlor billiards, the nicest pool hall in the USA. It's in Bellevue about 45 minutes from you. It's not a pool hall to find action at IMO but the waitstaff will rock your world and the food is great.
