Information About

Benaroya Hall




Benaroya Hall is named for noted philanthropist Jack Benaroya , whose $15.8M donation was the major gift toward building the facility. {Link without Title}

The facility sits directly above the BNSF Railway tunnel under Downtown Seattle that is the primary rail corridor for the city and adjacent to the Metro Bus Tunnel . To isolate the performance hall from the rumbles of the traffic in these tunnels and the streets outside the hall floats on rubber pads to isolate it from the outer shell of the building. These same noise-isolation features also dampen the sensation of earthquakes within the facility.

In 2004 , the band Pearl Jam released '' Live At Benaroya Hall ''.
