Fisher Pavilion is planning to be open this week though Friday morning to provide warm shelter for people experiencing homelessness. Low temperatures are expected to be in the 30s or below, and this overnight shelter will ensure that people have some respite from the freezing temperatures.
Fisher Pavilion is towards the middle of the Seattle Center next to Climate Pledge Arena, and is not a direct neighbor of the Phelps Center. We still recommend practicing good situational awareness when on campus.
The Salvation Army will staff the building, which is being opened as an emergency severe weather shelter at the request of the King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA) in partnership with the City of Seattle. As you may know, Exhibition Hall underneath the Phelps Center is also regularly used for this purpose during extreme cold.
We strongly recommend saving the Seattle Center Emergency Services Unit (ESU) phone number to call in case you run into any issues, if you see something suspicious while on the grounds or in Seattle Center facilities, please report it immediately to ESU at 206-684-7272 or Call 911.
Please also let PNBS staff know immediately if you see or experience something unsafe on the way in and out of the Phelps Center. Email documentation is also helpful in our communication with Seattle Center. PNB Front Desk: 206-441-9411; PNB School Office: 206-441-2435
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Pacific Northwest Ballet School
