Paramount Theatre, Historic theater in downtown Seattle, United States.

The Paramount Theatre is a 2,807-seat performing arts venue at 9th Avenue and Pine Street in downtown Seattle. Its broad facade is reddish-brown brick, banded by rows of small rectangular windows; a vertical blue-and-orange "PARAMOUNT" sign hangs at the left corner, and a horizontal sign sits above the entrance marquee. The building was designed by Rapp & Rapp, with adjacent apartments and offices by B. Marcus Priteca.

Paramount Pictures, led by president Adolph Zukor, invested nearly $3 million to build the Seattle Theatre, which opened on March 1, 1928, with 3,000 seats. It was renamed the Paramount in 1930 and Paramount Northwest in 1971. Former Microsoft vice-president Ida Cole bought it in 1993, closed it in May 1994, and reopened it as the Paramount Theatre on March 17, 1995. Ownership passed to the Seattle Theatre Group in 2002.

Today the house is part of the Seattle Theatre Group and brings musicals, dance, concerts, and live films to the stage each week. Many visitors arrive minutes early just to see the golden walls and the light.

The seats spread across multiple levels and together offer room for around 2800 people, with ramps and elevators for all visitors. Several public parking garages are a few steps away on Pine Street, which makes arriving easier.

An original Wurlitzer organ still stands beneath the stage and rises on a hydraulic lift during special occasions. Some concerts and screenings use the instrument to bring back the sound of the late 1920s.
