Jet City Labs is a 1,000 square foot event space in West Seattle that holds up to 50 guests. Organizers can book it for meetings, webinars, training sessions, private parties, pop-up shops, art shows and photo or video shoots. The space sits at 4547 California Ave SW, in the Alaska Junction neighborhood, and a small cocktail bar called the Revelry Room adjoins it.
Seminars and company events
The venue describes the main room as a studio suited to meetings, webinars and training. It is a single open room with white walls and 10-foot ceilings, so it works best for workshops, team sessions, product presentations and small client events rather than large plenary days. A podium, a PA system with wired and wireless microphones, and an 8 by 8 foot stage are available. Add-ons listed on the booking page include a 70-inch OLED TV, a wall projector and a basic PA package. RGB track lighting lets you change the mood of the room between a daytime session and an evening reception.
Weddings and receptions
The official site does not offer weddings. It does present the room for private parties, pop-up shops, art shows and community events, and it can serve as a reception or after-party space for a group of up to 50.
Rooms and capacities
The main room has a flexible floor plan for social events, workshops or dinners, with a stated capacity of 50 people. Furniture on site includes eight standing or seated bistro tables, four standard 60-inch rectangular folding tables, 32 folding chairs and 30 ottoman seats. A collapsible DJ booth and a STAS art rail system for hanging work are also provided. Free WiFi covers the space.
The Revelry Room is the 30-seat cocktail bar next door. It can be rented for private parties and is stocked with the bar's own drinks menu. Guests of a Jet City Labs event may order from it, but the venue asks that drinks are enjoyed inside the Jet City Labs room.
Catering
Food is not part of the standard offer described on the site. Events that serve alcohol include a hosted bar run by the venue's preferred bar catering partner. It comes in a basic tier and a premium tier, with a three-hour minimum that covers the venue rental, a bartender, insurance, mixers and a private mini bar. Events without alcohol are booked as dry events with staff, setup and cleanup included.
Booking and timing
A booking runs a minimum of three hours, with an extra 30 minutes of setup and 30 minutes of teardown on each side. Extra hours and extra setup time can be added when you book. The venue handles setup, staff and cleanup. To start, you complete the intake form, build a quote on the site or schedule a tour of the space.
History and setting
Jet City Laboratory describes itself as a cultural incubator and collaborative workspace. The room doubles as a retail gallery, and it hosts the 206 Maker's Market, a series of pop-up markets held on select Sundays and holiday dates. The street outside becomes a walking market on Sundays during the West Seattle Farmers Market.
Getting there
The venue lists a walk score of 98. Free street parking is limited to two hours before 8 p.m., and several paid lots are close by. The RapidRide C Line and other bus routes serve the Junction.
