How to rent the Sunset Hill Community Hall

Our classic, restored two-story Arts & Crafts–style building is available at reasonable rates for all kinds of events. These have included: musical and choral performances, live theater, dances, fundraisers, community events, church meetings, holiday parties, drivers education classes, writers’ workshops, art classes, puppet shows, film screenings, weddings, commitment ceremonies, receptions, bat and bar mitzvahs, anniversaries, family reunions, and more.

Located in the Ballard Neighborhood of Seattle

The Sunset Hill Community Hall is located in a leafy residential area with free street parking. It’s close to restaurants, coffee shops, and the Sunset Hill View Park with its sweeping overlook of Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains. To be considerate of our neighbors, any live music must be non-amplified and all music must be turned off by 10pm, per city ordinance.

You can view the building by appointment or during a general membership event.
