About First & Bell

First & Bell is a versatile Seattle venue offering ~9,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space across multiple rooms: The Great Room & Mezzanine, The Side Room, and a Rooftop Patio. Ideal for weddings, corporate off-sites, product launches, private concerts, and film/photo shoots, the venue supports a range of layouts—from seated events to high-energy receptions. With a combined capacity that accommodates up to 500 for cocktail setups and up to ~350 seated (depending on configuration), First & Bell provides flexible solutions for events of varying sizes. The building sits at 2218 1st Ave in downtown Seattle, and while the venue’s status as of now is not reported as demolished or renamed, it is listed for sale; we recommend confirming current ownership and access details with the venue directly.

Here’s what you can expect when planning your event at First & Bell, along with practical on-site details and nearby amenities to simplify planning.
