The Paramount Theatre in Seattle, Washington is a 2,807-seat performing arts venue at 9th Avenue and Pine Street in Downtown in the United States of America. Originally built in 1927 as The Seattle Theatre with 3,000 seats, the theater was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 9, 1974. It is also an official City of Seattle landmark. [ [https://www.cityofseattle.gov/neighborhoods/preservation/p.htm Landmarks Alphabetical Listing for P] , Individual Landmarks, Department of Neighborhoods, City of Seattle. Accessed 28 December 2007.] The theatre was designed by the Chicago-based firm of Rapp & Rapp, with Seattle architect B. Marcus Priteca collaborating. The Paramount was built expressly for showing film and secondarily, vaudeville. The Paramount is currently operated as a performing arts venue, serving a diverse patron base that attends Broadway theatre, concerts, dance, comedy, family engagements, silent film and jazz. It is considered to be one of the busiest theatres in the region.
It is currently owned and operated by the Seattle Theatre Group, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit performing arts organization, which also runs the 1,419-seat Moore Theatre in Belltown.

The Paramount Theatre is also the first venue in the United States to have a convertible floor system, which converts the theater to a ballroom.
