From our sister site The White Center Blog:
Justin Cline, founder of White Center’s Full Tilt Ice Cream, suffered a heart attack on Feb. 5, 2024.
According to a Facebook post, Cline has been in critical condition ever since.
“He is getting better, but very slowly. KCFD and North Highline FD saved his life, and now an army of incredible nurses and doctors are taking care of him,” his partner Ann Magyar said on Facebook.
Here’s a note posted to Facebook by Magyar:
“Hey all,

“On February 5 our beloved ice cream man, Justin, had a heart attack. He has been in critical condition since. He is getting better, but very slowly. KCFD and North Highline FD saved his life, and now an army of incredible nurses and doctors are taking care of him.
“If you notice parts of the website ordering is down or we aren’t as quick to answer messages, please be patient.

According to its website, Full Tilt was founded in 2008 by Magyar and Cline in White Center, with the idea to open a shop “where families could hang out, artists could display their art, and everyone could eat great ice cream.”
“After we mentioned the idea to a few friends, one of them told us they wished there was a place in the neighborhood to play pinball. Ann had once lived above a pinball parlor, and the idea stuck.”
Full Tilt Ice Cream makes all natural ice cream and frozen desserts with as much creativity and local ingredients as possible. Our retail outlets feature new and vintage arcade and pinball machines, an eclectic mix of sodas, an amazing mix of music on our stereos, and some of the finest beers the Northwest has to offer.
