Paramount Theatre Seating Chart
The Paramount Theatre is a restored 1928 movie palace in downtown Seattle, the main Broadway touring house in the city. The ornate hall seats around 2,807 across an orchestra and two balconies and can convert its main floor to standing room for general-admission concerts.
Sections at Paramount Theatre
Paramount Theatre breaks down into these 6 main sections. The one printed on your ticket sets your price, your distance, and your view, so read it against this list before you buy — and note the layout can shift between a game, a concert, and a private buyout.
- Orchestra — main floor, rows A-Z
- Lower Balcony — first tier
- Upper Balcony — top tier
- Box Seats — side boxes
- Floor general admission (concerts)
- Accessible seating
Best seats at Paramount Theatre
Orchestra center rows G through R give the best sightline and sound for Broadway tours. For general-admission concerts, the front of the lower balcony is the smart pick — a clear, elevated view without the standing-floor crowd.
Tips before you go
The Paramount sits in downtown Seattle near the Westlake light-rail and monorail stops, so take transit rather than parking downtown. Some concerts convert the floor to standing, so check your show's configuration before choosing seats.
How to read the Paramount Theatre seating chart
The Paramount Theatre chart divides 2,807 seats on stacked levels facing the stage across 6 named sections — Orchestra, Lower Balcony, Upper Balcony, Box Seats, Floor general admission, and Accessible seating. Which of those names is printed on your ticket decides more than location: two sections apart can mean a different level, a different price bracket, and a different side of the room entirely.
Every Paramount Theatre seat is really the sum of three choices: how far from the stage you are, whether you sit center or off toward a side aisle, and which level you're on. Put Accessible seating and Orchestra side by side and the gap shows up immediately — in level, in price tier, and often in which half of the Seattle room you land in. The best-seats notes above settle it for Paramount Theatre; just verify section, row, and seat on the official map before you pay.
Sizewise, Paramount Theatre holds 2,807, which puts it 10th of 11 Washington venues in this guide: Cheney Stadium (6,500) is the next size up, Pantages Theater (1,182) the next size down.
Building a seating chart for an event at Paramount Theatre
If your event lands at or near Paramount Theatre — a corporate block, a reception, a team dinner — start from the venue's real geography: sections like Orchestra and Accessible seating and the tiers around them set the footprint. Rebuild that footprint in the maker with rounds for the dinner, rows for the program, and a head table where the format wants one, then assign guests and export a PDF for the Seattle event-services team. You won't need anywhere near the full 2,807-seat configuration; private blocks live in clubs, suites, and adjacent banquet rooms — exactly the scale the tool handles.
