Inspired by its natural surroundings, the Pavilion is where rustic meets elegance. A Northwest color palette complements the tongue-and-groove domed ceiling, plantation shutters and polished concrete flooring, offering a truly Northwest environment.

A versatile space, the Pavilion is ideal for groups of 75 to 225.
