It was announced in recent press release that Bungie, the video game company that created Halo, will purchase the entire Bellevue Galleria complex from the current owner. Bungie, which is a current tenant, leases 85,000 square feet of office space at the Galleria.
Bungie has purchased the property with the intent to remove all current tenants and transform the property and building into a larger than life laser-tag-like Halo game experience for the public to enjoy. The experience will have 3 floors in which to maneuver and several individual hiding areas.
The experience will allow participants the ability to choose their favorite levels in which they want to emulate. The building will be available in its entirety to be rented out by large parties and will also offer gameplay by the hour to the public daily.
Construction for the project will start in the summer, and it will be open by January of 2013.

Ha! You got me!
I’m actually kinda sad this wasn’t a real story. It sure would’ve been better than the current Galleria offering. 🙂
