This is a beautiful space to have Events both big and small. There is a small space downstairs that isn’t much, but could fit easily 100 people and tables and chairs. And upstairs there is a very large beautiful space with a wraparound balcony and a large stage. I have gone to dance classes here, fundraisers here, and many other events and it is always stunning because of the space itself. There is really no parking in this area or at the space but I have been to events where they utilize the elementary parking one block away.

Such a vibe. Catch a wrestling show on the weekend, and grab a latte during the week. Love everyone up there, if you want to support a local place with cool people this the spot

*Previous review deleted * What an absolute gem! I met up here for the "Hey Black Seattle!" Tour, and was immediately taken by the warm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s a place where you can relax, connect, and feel part of something meaningful. Highly recommend stopping by and supporting this incredible initiative!

I showed up just before the barista, Calille, was going to lunch. He offered to make me a coffee "real quick". So I obliged since I already knew exactly what I wanted (great mocha btw). That was above and beyond the call of duty. Give this man a raise!

First time visit to participate in "Choir! Choir! Choir!" event on a very warm Spring evening. Wonderful old building in a leafy neighborhood. We were unsure about parking but had no problem finding a space within easy walking distance. Excellent auditorium space although it was quite warm with 500 people even with the windows all open. Recommended but if it's warm and you dislike the heat, wear light clothing and consider taking a fan.

Just a wonderful old school facility. We go for the monthly Defy wrestling shows and absolutely love the intimate atmosphere.. If you ever get a chance, check out this beautiful building.. And don't forget, Jimi played here back in the 60's !!!

Washington Hall is such a stellar event venue in Seattle and it's great to see it still thriving! A few years back Sensebellum had the honor of exhibiting some of our interactive science art installations alongside other notable locals for "The Future List 2018" thanks to the team at the City Arts Magazine. Good times were had and here's to more in the future!
