Event venues in Seattle

10 rooms holding 180,000 people between them. What each one draws on a full night, and which streets it sends them down.

SoDo · stadium

Home to the Seahawks and the Sounders, walking distance from Pioneer Square, so an unusually high share of its crowd arrives on foot or by light rail.

SoDo · stadium

The Mariners' ballpark, next door to Lumen Field. An 81 game home season means SoDo has a mid sized crowd far more often than it has a huge one.

Downtown · convention centre

Downtown's convention halls, whose crowds are daytime and multi day, so they move lunch and coffee far more than they move a dinner service.

Lower Queen Anne · arena

Home to the Kraken and the Storm, at Seattle Center rather than downtown, which sends its crowd into Lower Queen Anne rather than the business district.

SoDo · music hall

The flat floor room attached to Lumen Field, which lets SoDo run a concert and a fixture on the same evening.

Downtown · theatre

A 1928 room on Pine Street running touring Broadway, concerts and comedy, with an audience that reliably eats downtown before the curtain.

Downtown · theatre

The Seattle Symphony's home on Second Avenue. A seated, early arriving audience with a dependable pre concert dinner hour.

Belltown · theatre

Seattle's oldest theatre still running, at the bottom of Belltown, drawing a crowd that walks between the show and dinner rather than driving.

Downtown · music hall

Opposite Pike Place Market since 1939. Small, frequent, and squarely in the middle of the densest block of bars in the city.

University District · theatre

A small room in the University District, whose crowd is students and locals on foot, which is why it moves nearby trade more than its size suggests.

What this means if you trade here

These are only the large rooms. Most nights in Seattle are moved by something smaller: a club show, a conference session, a neighbourhood event that never reaches a ticketing site. Gigwake merges all of it, keeps what falls within 5 miles of your own door, and ranks it by the crowd it sends your way, 7 days ahead.
