The venue

About Washington Center For The Performing Arts

You’ve got a guy for live shows in Olympia. The Washington Center for the Performing Arts is the city's hub for concerts, orchestras, contemporary artists, and special programs. With a capacity around 1,000 after a 2022 interior renovation, the Center sits in downtown Olympia on 512 Washington St SE, a short walk from hotels, dining, and transit. We’ll help you secure your seats, share practical details, and point you to trusted lodging and dining options near the venue.

Planning your trip to a show at the Washington Center? Here’s what to know. Parking relies on metered city lots and on-street spaces—no dedicated on-site parking. Metered spots are often free after 5 PM or on weekends. Intercity Transit serves downtown Olympia with a nearby Transit Center, and DASH shuttles provide easy connections to Capitol Campus and downtown venues. Nearby hotels include the DoubleTree by Hilton Olympia Downtown Capitol District and TownePlace Suites by Marriott Olympia, both within about a 0.3-mile stroll, with Quality Inn Olympia roughly 0.7 miles away. For a complete experience, check the 2025-26 seating chart PDF to view Orchestra, Mezzanine, Balcony, and stage layouts before you buy. Whether you’re catching the Olympia Symphony Orchestra, Masterworks Chorale Ensemble, or touring artists and silent-film programs, we’ve got you covered with reliable, hassle-free ticket access.
