For years, what was only vis­i­ble to the artists will now be open for the pub­lic. Our back­stage green room has under­gone an exten­sive ren­o­va­tion in the past eight months to offer another venue in Yakima for more inti­mate per­for­mances. To keep true to the his­tory of this almost 100-year-old build­ing, we were able to sal­vage the orig­i­nal floor­ing that hasn’t seen the light of day in over fifty years. We sal­vaged the orig­i­nal stained glass doors from the front of the build­ing and reused them in the green room win­dows for a more cohe­sive look. New paint on the walls and a soon to be com­pleted fully func­tional kitchen will tie all of ren­o­va­tions together.

This Sat­ur­day, March 12^th, we will be open­ing our back stage to the pub­lic with an art show by Lisa Wool­cock and con­cert per­formed by Mycle Wast­man. Mycle’s smooth oper­a­tor voice paired with his band’s clean R&B riffs, are a sure­fire lady-killer first date or 25^th anniver­sary. Based out of Seat­tle, Mycle has a fol­low­ing all through­out the North­west. Pre-sale tick­ets are already fly­ing through the doors from his avid fans.
The beauty of this new venue is its smaller more inti­mate capac­ity. With a capac­ity of 200, as com­pared to 450 in the front hall, we can host more niche bands and artists that nor­mally we would have a tough time book­ing because of our large capac­ity in front. This also gives the Sea­sons more appeal those look­ing to rent the facil­ity for their own func­tions. What was once a wed­ding rental can now become a wed­ding and recep­tion rental. Bap­tisms, quincean­eras, birth­day par­ties, small group meet­ings and pre­sen­ta­tions, all have a more afford­able venue to rent.
We look for­ward to the new oppor­tu­ni­ties avail­able with this new exten­sion to The Sea­sons and hope that Yakima too will embrace and uti­lize this new added fea­ture com­mit­ted towards the revi­tal­iza­tion of down­town Yakima.
