If you want to feel really ritzy, the Paramount Theatre is the place to go. First opened in 1927 as a movie theater and now under the stewardship of Seattle Theatre Group, the Paramount hosts a mix of live music, theater, and silent film screenings (they even have a Mighty Wurlitzer Organ at their disposal!). Big-name acts like Big Thief, Clairo, and PJ Harvey regularly take the stage, and the landmark theater is pretty flexible—for big shows, they often remove the plush seats on the main floor to make way for a standing-room-only crowd. But their balcony seating is pretty incredible, too. Not only can you see and hear the musical act onstage, but you can also see the incredible architecture of the space itself. Not to be missed!
