Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Carlson Theatre

3000 Landerholm Circle SE

Bellevue, WA 98007

Located on the Bellevue College campus, the venue sits approximately 10 miles east of downtown Seattle, making it an easy trip for Eastside residents and Seattle visitors alike.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in college lots adjacent to the theater building. Parking may require a permit or payment depending on the time and day — check Bellevue College’s website for current details.
• Public Transit: Served by King County Metro bus routes; Bellevue College is a major transit stop.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and drop-off zones are available at the main campus entrances.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 30–45 minutes before showtime. This gives you time to park in the campus lots, walk to Building E, and get settled before the lights go down. It’s an indoor venue, so weather won’t affect your experience once you’re inside, but arriving a bit early helps avoid last-minute lines.

If you’re driving, confirm whether your performance time requires a parking permit or payment — policies can vary by day and hour. With a little extra lead time, you can navigate campus signs to the Carlson Theatre Building and still have a moment to check the playbill or grab concessions.

Public transit via King County Metro is a convenient alternative. If you’re using rideshare, set your drop-off for the main campus entrance and follow campus signage to Building E. The campus is generally accessible, but plan for a short walk from the lot or drop-off point to the theater entrance.

Venue Navigation

The Carlson Theatre Building houses both the mainstage Carlson Theatre and the Stop Gap Studio Theatre, creating a hub for a range of performance formats. Entrances and wayfinding are straightforward, with lobby access leading to the auditorium’s reserved seating.

You’ll find restrooms in the building, and concessions may be available during events. Merchandise availability can vary by performance. With some walking required from parking to the entrance, comfortable footwear is helpful — especially if you’re exploring campus landscaping before or after the show.
