Bethaday Community Learning Space hosts workshops, board retreats, conferences, receptions and small weddings in Seattle, Washington. Its largest room, the Multi-Purpose Room, holds up to 100 people. Smaller rooms cover groups of 8 to 40. The campus is run by the Technology Access Foundation and has been hosting community events for 13 years.
Seminars and company events
Corporate bookings are the core of the offer. The site names four formats: retreats, meetings, workshops and conferences. Teams of up to 20 can use the purpose-built classrooms for trainings, focus groups, board retreats and hands-on workshops. For a larger audience, a press conference or a company gathering, the two halls take over.
The Boardroom is the smallest option. It measures 369 square feet, takes 8 to 10 people, and has a built-in projector and screen, blackout screens or manual shades, and floor power outlets. A free open area sits right outside it. The Project Room measures 400 square feet and takes 10 people. It has a whiteboard and balcony access, and works as a meeting room or as office space.
Weddings and receptions
The venue promotes weddings in the Multi-Purpose Room. Ceremonies and receptions look out on large Madrona trees, a native rain garden and a small lake, inside a 40-acre park. The hall opens to an outdoor patio, and its garage doors can be raised by hand to connect inside and outside. Social events such as celebrations and family gatherings use the same rooms.
Rooms and capacities
The Multi-Purpose Room covers 1,328 square feet and holds 100 people. The Assembly Room covers 970 square feet and holds 40. It has large windows, a city mural, and an open plan that connects to the main entrance and lobby. The room can be set up in several ways, with two small couches available and a small stage on request. The Boardroom and the Project Room complete the list, along with a Smart Classroom and a Classroom for up to 20 participants.
Catering
The Multi-Purpose Room has a working kitchen area: a double refrigerator, a freezer, a six-tray warmer box, two microwaves, coffee and tea makers and a dishwasher. The site does not name a caterer or a list of approved vendors, so ask when you send your request. A built-in projector, speakers and wireless microphones can be added to the hall.
History and setting
Bethaday Community Learning Space belongs to the Technology Access Foundation, an organization focused on education. The venue presents itself as a place where hosting an event also supports that mission. The setting is green and quiet, which suits retreats and day-long workshops.
