On Mondays Waltz etcetera happens at the Lake City Community Center, 12531 28th Ave NE in Seattle; we dance in a huge room with a very nice hardwood dance floor plus there's a second very large room that kind of merges with the first. Dancers use the second room for changing their shoes, socializing, or resting. The second room has the same great hardwood floor, and some dancers use the area in back of the social zone for practicing new moves, coaching etc. in a quieter setting. The building has huge built-in fans that suck in fresh air from outside for ventilation. There's free parking in the LCCC's lot plus plenty of free street parking nearby. Please don't park in the fire lane (striped area) along the north side of the building; you may get towed. Here's a map:
Thursday nights and 1st & 3rd Sunday afternoons we dance in the upstairs ballroom at Salmon Bay Eagles, located in Ballard at 5216 20th Ave NW. It's an original old-Seattle ballroom, with quirky fraternal organization charm, high ceilings, lots of air and light, lots of room to dance, and a great hardwood floor - one of the best dance floors in town. There's a full bar downstairs, and you can bring your drinks back upstairs with you.
If you can't find street parking, you can park in the Swedish Hospital parking garage, which is directly north of the Eagles' back door; enter the garage from Tallman Ave NW. Parking there used to be free evenings & weekends, but the Swedish parking manager told me they planned to start charging $1/hr. Be sure not to park in a reserved spot; go up to the 3rd level. When you exit the garage, make a sharp left and walk along the driveway separating the garage from the apartments next door. At the end of a short block you'll see the Eagles' back door directly across the street from you. On the map below, the parking garage is the pink square between Tallman & Russell:
