    Flooding at Mox Portland

    Early Wednesday morning (12/7), we arrived to open the store and were faced with a terrible surprise: our building was severely flooded. Water had seeped through the walls and ceiling, damaging RPG books, MTG cards, office carpets, and even some of our beautiful wooden fixtures and cabinets.UPDATE Wednesday 12/14/22: Great news everyone! We're opening again this evening at 4pm! We're still in the middle of some repairs, so please forgive any areas still under construction. We're open for dining and drinks, and you're welcome in to play and buy some games & gifts. Please note: our MTG Portal is still going through repairs and card pick-ups are still unavailable until next week. We couldn't be more excited to welcome everyone back to Mox. Thank you for all of your wonderful support

    10th Anniversary of Giving Tree Supports Homeless Youth in our Greater Seattle Community

    ‘Tis the season for giving and kindness, and Mox is getting in the spirit. For 10 years, we’ve held The Giving Tree, and annual tradition to bring our community together and make our part of the world a little better. This year we’re partnering with our friends at YouthCare, as we support their goal of building brighter futures for youth experiencing homelessness in our area. What is The Giving Tree? The Giving Tree is an annual program hosted by Mox Boarding House to support the amazing work done by locally focused non-profits. 2022 marks the 10th anniversary of The Giving Tree, and while the program has grown and changed over the years the one constant has been the generosity you’ve shown every holiday season.
