Seattle Center

The International Fountain is taking a quick break for regularly scheduled maintenance, June 1-5. 💧

While the water is off, there’s still plenty to explore around Seattle Center. From relaxing on the Fountain Lawn and taking in views of the Space Needle to grabbing a bite in the Armory Food & Event Hall, exploring public art, or checking out one of the many events happening across campus.

Thanks for your patience while we help keep one of Seattle Center’s most iconic gathering places running smoothly. We’ll have the water dancing again soon!

Today's performance features circus arts by Oroki Productions. May 30, 6pm, Armory Stage. Free

Six Asian American Circus artists perform an acrobatic family dinner in Rice on Repeat: An AAPI Circus.

Acrobats will set the table, serve the rice, and share their life stories through dance and circus arts. It's an ordinary routine full of extraordinary acts: handstands on the lazy susan, bowls of rice served from a flying pole, and a chosen family celebrating their shared experiences through movement. The relatable moment when you forget to set the rice is suddenly a game of partner acrobatics as we wait for dinner to be ready.

Today! presents From BNA to SEA: From one music city to another.

May 29, Armory. Free

Musical artists Stephcynie, Jared Mitchell, and S-Wrap did their time in Music City — and now they're in Seattle. BNA to SEA is their first introduction to a city with its own deep musical identity — grunge, jazz, and everything in between.
This is a show about what happens when Nashville's less obvious sound lands in the Pacific Northwest. When artists transplant to a new city, find their footing, and continue their vision.

will present an exciting music performance on May 29th in the Armory. Free.
BNA to SEA: From one music city to another — Three Artists. Transplanted. Not the sound you expected.

When people hear Nashville, they think of music about truck stops and that southern twang. But Nashville isn't called Music City because of one genre. It earned that name from being a hub for music creation. All types of music.
Stephcynie, Jared Mitchell, and S-Wrap did their time in Music City — and now they're in Seattle. BNA to SEA is their first introduction to a city with its own deep musical identity — grunge, jazz, and everything in between.

Today we honor members of the U.S. armed forces who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and thank The Seattle Times for its Memorial Day editorial spotlighting the significance — and the importance for future generations — of the words inscribed on Memorial Wall: YOUTH HOLD HIGH YOUR TORCH OF TRUTH, JUSTICE AND TOLERANCE, LEST THEIR SACRIFICE BE FORGOTTEN.

Thank you to our partners Sellen Construction, Seattle Public Schools, and One Roof Sports & Entertainment.
