PNTA History & Legacy

For nearly 50 years, Pacific Northwest Theatre Associates (PNTA) was a beacon of creativity and reliability in Seattle’s arts and events scene. Established in 1975, PNTA was built on a foundation of service, collaborating with local theaters, schools, nonprofits, and businesses to bring countless productions and events to life. From a small storefront with two employees, PNTA's largest office on Westlake Ave grew to 40,000 square feet with over 40 full-time employees.
