The Building
A vibrant gathering place in the heart of Seattle, Town Hall fosters an engaged community through civic, arts, and educational programs that reflect—and inspire—our region’s best impulses: creativity, empathy, and the belief that we all deserve a voice.
Each year, 110,000+ people come together at Town Hall for 425+ events spanning civics, the arts, and sciences. But we’re far more than just a venue.
Town Hall Seattle is a nonprofit organization that maintains a landmark
historic building—as well as marketing and production infrastructure—for shared community use.
There’s nowhere else like Town Hall Seattle, anywhere. The midsize
scale of our performance spaces, our highly collaborative model, wide
breadth of programming presented, and deep commitment to accessibility all make us a new kind of cultural convener. With wide open doors and radically affordable tickets and stages, everyone can take part, be inspired, and use their voice to shape our future.
Town Hall’s historic building was originally the Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist, constructed in two stages from 1916 through 1922. It was built at the peak of the Christian Science movement, when the church could afford generous spaces and fine finishes. The congregation was the sole and continuous occupant of the building until it was sold to Town Hall in 1998.
Public Transportation
Our venue is served by frequent bus routes, is near access to light rail stations, and close to a number of parking options nearby.
Please note we do not have our own parking lot.
Town Hall is committed to environmental sustainability, and we encourage everyone to use public transit whenever possible.
