This center made Seattle a hub for the game Go, now it needs a new home

In Seattle's U-District, there’s a non-descript two story building tucked near the corner of I-5 and 45th street. On the side of that building is a large sign that looks like graph paper with black and white circles on it. If you’re a smartypants, you may recognize this as a game of GO. If you’re a super smartypants, you might head inside to play the game at the “Seattle GO Center.”
