The Phinney Neighborhood Association

The Phinney Neighborhood Association occupies a campus of two historic Seattle school buildings — the Blue Building, built in 1904, and the Brick Building, built in 1917 — along with the nearby Greenwood Senior Center, and because the organization's mission centers on fostering an inclusive, welcoming community, its rooms are rented out by the hour to host everything from meetings and classes to private parties and celebrations. Since both campuses are ADA-accessible with elevators and offer free on-site parking, groups of nearly any size can move easily between spaces, from small classrooms that seat up to 35 people to the Community Hall, a 2,336-square-foot room with sprung bamboo flooring, a stage with podium, and seating for up to 135 guests (150 standing), and the Greenwood Room, which accommodates up to 200 seated guests beneath its accordion dividing wall and projection screen. Because the association hosts nearly 800 community activities each year across these same rooms, renters booking an event here are stepping into buildings that already anchor daily community life in Northwest Seattle.
