Des Moines Activity Center

Set in the South Puget Sound city of Des Moines, Washington, the Des Moines Activity Center is a versatile event venue built around the Mt. Rainier Room — a 5,448-square-foot space with hardwood floors, a large stone fireplace, and peek-a-boo views of Mount Rainier. Two adjoining auxiliary rooms and a commercial kitchen can be added to the rental, and an on-site facility attendant is included throughout each event. The indoor space opens onto a 2,500-square-foot patio bordered by grass and mature trees, alongside Mary's Rose Garden, where a trellised area and fountain make a natural backdrop for outdoor ceremonies. The venue accommodates up to 120 guests and suits weddings, elopements, family celebrations, presentations, and company meetings. Wi-Fi and free on-site parking are available, and the commercial kitchen allows hosts to self-cater or bring in the caterer of their choice.
