Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox opened in downtown Spokane on September 3, 1931, built by Fox West Coast Theaters as a 2,300-seat movie palace. Architect Robert Reamer, known for designing Yellowstone's Old Faithful Inn, gave the building its exuberant Art Deco style, and Hollywood designer Anthony Heinsbergen created the murals that still cover the lobby, mezzanine, and lounges. A full renovation reopened the Theater in November 2007, reconfiguring the building to add dressing rooms, an expanded lobby, and ADA upgrades, and reducing the house to roughly 1,600 seats as a mid-sized performing arts venue. The Theater is owned and operated by the nonprofit Spokane Symphony and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Spokane Register, and the Washington Heritage Register. Beyond its resident symphony and touring performances, the Theater hosts private events on its historic stage and in its surrounding lounges, accommodating up to 250 guests for a seated meal or 500 for a strolling reception. Weddings held there can include a hosted bar, dressing room suites for the wedding party, and a personalized message on the Theater's outside marquee.

Walking up to the Marysville Opera House, guests find a two-story historic building on Third Street, with a private garden courtyard out front that gives the venue an outdoor space of its own. Inside, the building keeps its original character: a chandelier-lit ballroom beneath a classical tin pressed ceiling, with a vintage balcony overlooking the main floor. The ballroom, mezzanine, and balcony together hold up to 240 guests, with roughly 100 to 150 seated comfortably across the two levels, or as many as 200 in theater-style seating without tables. A stage with its own dressing room supports the live music, tribute shows, and community performances that fill the Opera House calendar, while a separate get-ready cottage gives wedding parties a private space to prepare before the ceremony. Renters bring their own caterer, DJ, and photographer, drawing on the venue's caterer kitchen, bar service area, and concession stand as needed. Extra services such as house A/V, effect and colored theater lighting, a podium, linens, and table-and-chair setup can be added, and the main floor is ADA accessible with easy access off I-5.

Pioneer Park Pavilion has anchored downtown Puyallup since it was dedicated in 2004, quickly becoming the city's premier rental facility.

Heisen House Vineyards is a small, family-run winery and cidery set on a historic property in Battle Ground, Washington, just outside Portland. The winery makes its wines and hard ciders on site using a natural, minimal-intervention approach — wild ferment, cellar aging, and no chemical additions — and draws fruit from estate vines grown on the property (Gamay Noir, Gewürztraminer, Tempranillo, and Orange Muscat) alongside grapes and apples sourced from Clark County, the Columbia Gorge, and Eastern Washington. The grounds are set up for lingering: guests can sip a sampler flight or a glass or bottle of wine or cider while relaxing among the property's seating areas, hammocks, firepits, and grassy lawns, with leashed dogs welcome. Visitors can bring their own picnic or choose from the winery's prepackaged snacks, and the surrounding area offers nearby hiking, biking, rivers, waterfalls, and lakes for making a full day of it. Beyond regular tastings, Heisen House Vineyards rents its site for weddings, family reunions, corporate retreats, fundraisers, birthdays, and other private gatherings, pairing its historic country setting with house-made wine and cider for guests hosting a celebration.
