Know Before You Go

Why it matters

The Crocodile is a Seattle institution whose original stage hosted Nirvana, Pearl Jam and countless touring bands. Its larger Belltown home now contains multiple rooms while keeping independent rock, hip-hop, electronic and comedy at the centre.

Getting there

The venue is on First Avenue in Belltown. Several buses stop nearby, and Westlake light rail is walkable; street parking is scarce.

Bag policy

Backpacks or large bags over 12 × 12 × 8 inches are prohibited.

Local tips

Confirm whether the show is in The Crocodile, Madame Lou's or Here-After inside the complex. Belltown is busy after dark, so plan transit or pickup before the encore.
