I was here to attend a cocktail charity auction — so I had a quite some fun participating in my first auction event. But while looking around here, I found a portion of the building being used as an art venue, currently displaying organic dresses with earthly elements. The Ballroom, with it’s hardwood flooring (real planks if my memory is accurate), with a disco ball, but with a large great window over-​viewing Shilshole Bay. It’s a nice view indeed.
Also, it appeared that rudimentary audio equipment is on-​site, probably good for the basics such for hosting lectures or charity events. But I think using a third party audio equipment would be better suited if there is music for a wedding reception for example.
There is a good amount of parking, probably around 150 cells, bathrooms with ADA-​Compliance, and I saw one elevator for use in the building.
I know that if I’m looking at hosting my own corporate parties, or even training seminars, and I want a nice view of the Shilshole Bay, and near a good spot for restaurants in Ballard, Ballard Elks Lodge will be on my consideration list.

Great views, great event space, great people. Loved the retro bingo charity event here tonight. I’d definitely come back again!
Another big bonus here is that the venue has its own parking lot. So if you’re coming for a party you can almost always be assured a space.
There’s an elevator for quick access to the second floor, there are clean bathrooms, and the views of Shilshole Bay simply can’t be beat. Great place to host or attend an event.
