Venue Pearl is a beautiful event space large enough for over 200 Blythe fans. Venue Pearl is located on the third floor of Block 90, a registered National Historic Place. Formerly a warehouse, the recently restored venue features vaulted ceilings, a spacious layout and a private entrance with elevator. Sweeping windows provide a view of the Pearl District as well as an abundance of natural light for many great photo opportunities!

Some of the local attractions include: Powell’s Bookstore, The Pacific Northwest College of Art, Stumptown Coffee, Finnegan’s toy store, Voodoo Doughnuts, Pioneer Square and many others!
