Bowling alleys beginning to roll again

Gearhart Bowl.
Adult bowling leagues are moving forward as
scheduled at Lower Columbia Bowl in Astoria.
Fall leagues offer spots for four-person
men’s, women’s or mixed teams.
Lower Columbia Bowl is open Tuesday
through Saturday from noon to 9 p.m., closed
Sundays and Mondays. League nights, which
began in September, are scheduled for Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday nights.
Bowlers can join anytime, said Casey Gray,
general manager at Lower Columbia Bowl.
Distancing guidelines between lanes as a pre-
caution over the coronavirus are undecided.
“We have 12 lanes, so we can go every other
lane,” Gray said, with the possibility of opening
all 12 safely.
Staffi ng has been tough at Lower Columbia
Bowl, Gray said, as the business was closed for
three-and-a-half months until July, he said.
“It’s a weird time we’re in. We don’t know
if we have to go by restaurant, bar or bowling
guidelines,” Gray said.
Lower Columbia Bowl offers a family
friendly atmosphere, with bowling for families,
along with food, adult beverages and a full ser-
vice pro shop.
Wednesdays are “dollar-off days,” with $1
off on shoe rentals, every game of bowling,
fountain sodas and adult beverages.
“Bowl free” coupons are offered on their
website at lcbowl.com.
To join a league, bowlers can call 503-325-
3321 or come in to Lower Columbia Bowl. S taff
will put teams or individuals in touch with the
Lower Columbia Bowling Association, which is
not affi liated with Lower Columbia Bowl.

Bowl. Length of the league season varies within
