About

An industrial hall that gets out of your way.

Tide & Timber Hall started as a machine shop in 1947. I'm Marcus Reyes — I bought the building in 2019 after running event operations at two downtown hotels for a decade. I kept the bones: exposed brick, old-growth fir beams, three loading bays. I added the windows, the bar infrastructure, and enough electrical to host a real production.

Open catering policy

We don't have a catering partner and we don't take a referral cut. You bring whoever you want — licensed, insured, and familiar with loading dock logistics. We provide the kitchen prep area, ice, standard service equipment, and a pre-event walkthrough so your caterer knows the space cold. The food is your call.

Most clients use caterers they've worked with before. If you're looking, we keep an informal list of teams we've seen work well in the space — happy to share it, no strings.

The building

• Main Hall. 8,400 sq ft. 350 seated dinner, 600 standing reception. Three loading bays directly adjacent — caterers love it.
• Natural light. We put in floor-to-ceiling windows on the west wall in 2021. Afternoon light from 2pm onward is genuinely special for cocktail hours.
• Three breakout rooms. The Belltown Room (60 capacity), the Pier Room (80 capacity), and the Mezzanine (40 capacity) for parallel sessions or VIP green rooms.
• A/V. Built-in projection and a house PA for presentations. For theatrical or concert production, we have a short list of production partners we can connect you with.

The team

Me, plus Yolanda (venue coordinator) and a facility crew of 4–6 depending on event scale. We do the setup, the coordination, the load-in logistics, and the teardown. We're not your event planner — but we know this building better than anyone, and we'll make sure your caterer and your production team have what they need.
