Questions about venues in Seattle

How many venues in Seattle publish their capacity?
All 15 venues listed here publish a capacity figure on their own pages. Each is the venue's own figure, not a drawn layout, so ask for a floor plan at your guest count.
What is the largest seated capacity a venue in Seattle publishes?
The Ruins publishes seating for 700. That is the venue's own figure. Whether a particular room holds that many for your layout is a question for the venue.
Do venues in Seattle say anything about catering?
10 of the 15 venues listed here have published something about food and drink that I've read. For the others I haven't read anything yet, so ask whether catering is in-house only and whether you can bring your own.
What should I ask a venue in Seattle before booking?
Across the 15 venues listed here, the questions these records most often leave open are: amplified-sound cutoff and curfew (open on 15), catering exclusivity and kitchen provision (open on 15) and load-in route, dock and vehicle limits (open on 15). Ask for those answers in writing before you pay a deposit.
