Room Escape Artist

Latest update: April 2026

The Puget Sound region, anchored by Seattle and Tacoma, is home to more than 4.5 million people. It offers visitors beautiful natural scenery, iconic landmarks like the Space Needle and Pike Place Market, fascinating museums, a strong music scene (not just grunge!), great seafood, and coffee… lots of coffee. 

This area is also home to a variety of creative escape rooms, including some of the industry’s earliest pioneering games, still open to new audiences. 

Here are our escape room recommendations in Seattle and around the Puget Sound region: 

Editor’s Note: You’ll notice we don’t have reviews for all of these games. We can assure you that a member of the Room Escape Artist team has played these games and would recommend them. We hope to return to the area and add more reviews from this growing escape room market.
