    The armory is a larger building with restaurants, restrooms, and tourist information for people visiting Seattle. I've eaten at subway here. Subway sandwiches is well, an ok sandwich. There are other restaurants but I haven't tried them. Super expensive choices. I usually come in to use the restroom honestly. Super clean and warm. Anyone I have encountered has been friendly and nice. Loads of tables to sit and enjoy your food. I think there is a good fried fish spot. Maybe I'll try it next time I'm here. A good spot for a pit stop if you're visiting the Seattle center. SYOY.

    The interior of the Seattle Center Armory is huge with various shops and a large TV for everyone to chillax.

    + Convenient food court to take a brake amidst all the fun things to do at Seattle Center, such as boarding the Space Needle and getting lost in all the museums to name a few, or to beat the summer heat. + Pleasant ambience. Bustling commerce. Felt safe. + Very spacious interior. Plenty of room to find seating to eat. + A huge TV for everyone to watch. They had a soccer game on when I visited. + Plenty of public restrooms.

    A cool food hall amid all the tourist attractions like the Space Needle and the glass garden! I got a quick lunch here in between visits to attractions and got a teriyaki bowl, which was satisfying and the service was quick. Lots of options to choose from and lots of space and seating!

    All's well that ends well stage T center theater

    This is an event space and food court with a lot of options, which is in the area of a lot of tourist attractions. It's by the Space Needle and museums. It's open 7am - 8 pm daily. There are tickets for events for sale. Don't miss a performance of the Seattle Shakespeare Company, on the 1st floor. There's also a school and a shop in the building.

    After a tour of the Space Needle in Seattle, we found out that there's a fast food place at Seattle Center Armory. It's right next to the Space Needle and after several hours of enjoying the view from the Space Needle, you have to unwind and grab some food at this place. There's a hamburger joint, Mexican, coffee shop, etc. The price is just reasonable compared to the food they offer at Space Needle. If it's your first time at Space Needle and get hungry after, come down and walk across and you'll find Seattle Armory.

    Christmas fills the air! However, the music was way to loud! The live performers were good but the volume was annoying. The food options are varied, but I was surprised to see no ice cream sold. It was December and maybe it is different in the summer. Very clean and well maintained facilities! Enjoy!

    Cool spot! The inside looks nothing like the outside. The outside is like a standard building and the inside looks much more lively. They have a lot of different types of food which is cool. And if I was by myself, I'd walk around and find something. They had a Mod Pizza and we have one at home, so I wasn't interested. I didn't get to peruse because the grands were chomping to go outside to play, but I hadn't had any coffee so I went in. But the cursory glance didn't really impress me if I were to be honest. They may have a gem in there, but I didn't see it. It may reveal itself upon a second look. I did go to Starbucks and waited longer than I ever have for a coffee drink. Too long, as in can I cancel this and go somewhere else? But if in the area, I'd give it a crack again.

    A very nice food court, lots of options and plenty of space!! Located in the Seattle Center not far from the Space Needle, I have eaten here a few times. They have Starbucks, Subway, Tacos, Wings, Mod Pizza, along with some other places. When I came here, there was a huge TV screen set up that looked like some sort of seminar was going on. This place is very spacious. It's also a good place to warm up in on a cold day, that's what we did!!

    A lot of family choices here food and fun

    A great gathering place that is a multi use facility. Restaurants, restrooms, stage area, coffee, beer, sweets, there are a lot of choices. Service was reasonable for the few places I visited.

    This place is a good idea... however.... there is a large difference between the posted hours of operation and the actual open time. We came this morning at 9am to try to get coffee from Ceres (online said they open before 8) and they said they were opening at 9. Came back for dinner because the website said they were open till 9 PM. We came at 6 o'clock and some businesses were already closed and others were closing. The seller at the meat pie restaurant said their hours change daily based on volume. This is a spacious dining area and there weren't too many people here. My chicken meat pie with rosemary cream sauce was very good. Others in my party got the fish and chips from Matt's (overpriced and just ok) and MOD pizza which was a safe bet. Would recommend during mid day hours for a variety of options.

    I went here on a Wednesday earlier this month (September) for lunch around 1pm. This food court has a lot of popular chain restaurants and has a good variety of foods to choose from. They have restaurants like MOD Pizza, Wing Dome, Starbucks, Subway, and many more! Hehe I was having trouble deciding what to eat here because they all sounded so good to me at that moment! The main reason I went here was because I was in the area and wanted to eat something before going up Space Needle. The food I got was chicken wings, waffle fries, and a slushy and it tasted good enough and filled me up. I was so happy this food court had drinks that came with lids and straws here unlike a different food court I went to in Seattle recently since I like walking around with my drinks. I also like how this place was clean and the restrooms here weren't that bad either. I'd recommend this place! There's a good variety of foods to choose from, places to sit, and the food tasted good. At this Seattle Armory place, they also have restrooms in case you need it. I just wish this place would stay open later. I tried to go here on one of the days for dinner, but they close at 7pm everyday!

    I never realized that around the Space Needle were a bunch of museums and food courts. I mean, they only show the Needle on TV. So when I realized it was a larger area, I immediately checked out the "Seattle Center Armory." It was a large food court, packed with Starbucks, burgers, and pizza spots. The main hall was large and full of seating, capable of seating hundreds. They have a lower level for children to play around to make the most out of your visit. If you see the Space Needle, stop in for lunch, it worth it.

    It was so nice to celebrate Diwali here. Great community got together can't wait till next year. They have free food you can get your hand draw. You can learn how to make flower and all other stuff it was a really great experience

There is an outdoor playground, 3 baseball diamonds, and playfields (soccer usually). Locals call the playfield "Big Howe" although there is a sign on QACC that says "West Queen Anne Field House."

Very affordable and the teacher is Montessori certified. Both of my kids attended and loved it there - she does a fantastic job with social, emotional, and cognitive learning. School age care is also fantastic. They always seem to pack in so many activities for the kids and make it all look so effortless. We were usually pulling our son away when it was time to go. The adult pottery class is a must try - huge room to work in, lots of wheels, tools, etc. Best part is you can use the room ANY TIME the community center is open while taking classes. The weight room is also open any time and offers drop in or a low monthly fee. This place is a must if you live near!

There is a day use fee but they offer punch cards for regular use. The gym is huge. Has upper seating area. It is 3 basketball courts they place baby gates between for multiple classes. Jazzercise is going on at one end while my daughter has volleyball at the other end. The coach struggles to talk over the music of that other class. It is carpeted as well. They have lots of kid classes available here. And there are some classroom areas, so things like Tai Chi can happen in a less loud environment, but it's not perfect. There is a walking track around the gym upstairs but it costs to walk ....$3. I like this place b/c they offer classes my kids want to try. Younger kids have plenty of sports leagues to enjoy. They have a gym and you can get a good workout here without joining a gym elsewhere. It's nice when the community center is clean and offers a lot. We enjoy utilizing this place.

There's plenty of open space for the kids to run wild, for the adults to deploy their dancing skills and to relax on a Tuesday night with your chosen group. They don't allow you to bring beer or wine which likely keeps people under control, but, removes a certain sophistication from some meals with friends as we try to one up each others culinary whimsy for picnic dinners. I must say that a glass of wine can really up the taste of my food. Highly recommend going at least once this summer for the people watching, the competitive food selections spread out on our blankets and the joy of being outdoors on these gorgeous summer nights.
