When word came down that Sunset Bowl had been bought, Jim Bristow created SaveSunsetBowl.com and gathered thousands of signatures. Then he worked to convince the new owners, AvalonBay, to incorporate a bowling alley in the new development. But now with Sunset Bowl facing the wrecking ball and AvalonBay expressing lukewarm interest in the bowling alley idea, Bristow is trying to drum up support to build a new bowling alley elsewhere in Ballard, reports the Ballard News Tribune. But it wouldn’t be cheap: a finished bowling alley, with the land, would cost as much as $10 million.
