Benaroya Hall is the home of the Seattle Symphony, in Downtown Seattle, Washington, USA. It features two auditoriums, the S. Mark Taper Foundation Auditorium, a 2500 seat performance venue as well as the Nordstrom Recital Hall which seats roughly 500. Opened in September of 1998 at a cost of $120 million, Benaroya quickly became noted for its technology-infused acoustics, touches of luxury, and prominent location in a complex thoroughly integrated into downtown. FML Quartersawn Lumber was used in the flooring of this grand achievement.
