Guests arriving for an event at the Center at Norpoint often gather first in the Margaret McCormick Social Hall, where hardwood floors and an exposed beam ceiling open onto an outdoor patio at this Northeast Tacoma community center. Operated by Metro Parks Tacoma, the Center at Norpoint opened in February 1994 and quickly became a hub for the surrounding neighborhood — about 3,000 residents had signed up as members before its doors even opened, and the center went on to serve as a model for later Metro Parks facilities including the STAR Center and Eastside Community Center. The Margaret McCormick Social Hall can be rented whole or divided in half, accommodating gatherings from smaller half-hall parties up to full-hall events of 250 guests. A full kitchen — with two stoves, two ovens, a freezer, and a refrigerator — is available for an additional fee, outside caterers are welcome, and liquor may be served with a banquet permit. Beyond the hall, the center also offers its gymnasium and smaller meeting or party rooms for rent, giving groups a range of spaces to choose from for parties, meetings, and community gatherings.

Falling Water Gardens is a garden wedding and event venue set just beyond downtown Monroe, Washington, a short drive from Seattle, Woodinville, and Bellevue. The property grew out of Falling Water Designs, an award-winning landscape design and build company that has created gardens and water features across the Puget Sound since 2000, and its grounds double as a destination garden center and aquatic nursery. The setting is defined by water and greenery. A network of koi and goldfish ponds, a 200-foot garden stream, a formal sunken garden, and a labyrinth wind through display gardens and groomed lawns. Couples can choose among four distinct ceremony locations: the sunken garden with its tent and dance floor, the upper lawn framed by an archway and footbridge, the intimate labyrinth ringed by rock walls, and the tree-lined grotto, which seats up to 200 guests. Weddings are booked as full-day, all-inclusive rentals, with the property available from morning through late evening and tables and chairs included, suiting celebrations of up to 200 guests.

The Historic Everett Theatre is a fully restored landmark on Colby Avenue in downtown Everett, Washington, that opened in 1901 as the Everett Opera House. Now more than a century old, it is the sole survivor of the eight theaters that once competed for audiences in the city, and its stage has hosted some of the biggest names in early twentieth-century entertainment, from Helen Keller and John Philip Sousa to John Barrymore and Al Jolson. Seating 800, the theatre produces and presents a full calendar of concerts, comedy shows, live music from nationally and internationally known artists, silent film screenings accompanied by pipe organ, and community events. Beyond its own programming, the venue is available for rentals; bookings include a house manager and ushers along with access to the greenroom and dressing rooms, digital house sound, stage lighting, and video projection. A working home for more than 300 community volunteers, the Historic Everett Theatre remains a central gathering place for performances and private events in downtown Everett.
