Make lasting memories at Tacoma's 126-year-old Foss Waterway Seaport located on Commencement Bay. We have two venue options to choose from, the Bamford Chart Room, which is a private meeting space in the heart of the museum. Or, the North Exhibit Hall, which transforms from maritime museum to a beautiful waterfront venue accommodating almost any type of celebration!
The Seaport's unique layout can accommodate all event types including school dances, weddings, corporate parties, markets, fashion shows, celebration of life, and more. Take advantage of a clean venue with historic charm, gorgeous views with spectacular natural light, ample parking, and flexible vendor options.
Rates start at $415 per-hour (M-W) & range from $3,640 to $8,000 (Th-Sun); event equipment including, tables, chairs, bars, and bistros, all included! Venue rental discounts are offered for annual museum members, non-profit organizations, Tacoma residents, active military, and essential workers.
The Foss Waterway Seaport is a non-profit maritime museum, education center, and community space. Private event venue rentals help keep museum admission free and fund community and education programs. Enjoy our tastefully decorated and festive surroundings all while exploring the Pacific Northwest's rich maritime history!
We happily serve, and fully support the rights of all races, religions, sexual orientations and genders.
