This year’s venue — the gorgeous Seattle Art Museum
We couldn’t be more excited about hosting Tuxes & Trains at the Seattle Art Museum, surrounded by grand art and architecture. Our venue embodies the vision, design, and passion that leads to artistic creation. This year, we have so much to celebrate as some of the most transformational transportation projects in Washington’s history come to fruition.
As in past years, this gala is cocktail-party style, with a short, inspiring program that includes updates about our latest campaigns, our popular Hall of Fame awards, and a spirited “raise the paddle” fundraising ask led by Emcee and Fundraising Auctioneer Sasha Summer Cousineau.

Getting There
Transportation Choices and our venue host, the Seattle Art Museum, encourage our guests to consider climate-friendly options like public transit for your transportation to and from the Tuxes & Trains gala. Metro Transit offers many bus routes to take you within a block or two of the Museum, and the light rail station at University Street is as close as can be — simply cross the street! Visit King County’s website to plan your trip on public transportation. Paid parking is also available at nearby garages. Note: Please use the Seattle Art Museum entrance at 2nd Ave and University Street.
