In May 2021, we reopened Phoenix’s play area to the public with a set of rules. These rules were designed to keep both our team members and our communities safe, and they have evolved over time. Today (May 17, 2023) we’re announcing a new set of policies that we plan to put into place beginning June 2, 2023.

In just a few weeks, Phoenix will pass a new milestone - 10 years serving Capitol Hill and the greater Seattle community. Normally around this time we like to celebrate with a comic book signing, some free comic books, and a special store-wide sale. And we’re still gonna do that! But Phoenix is more than just comics. So for our 10 year anniversary, we’d like to dedicate the whole month to a celebration of every aspect of the store. We’ve got a lot planned, and we hope you’ll join us for every part of this that speaks to you!
