Room Rentals

Your rental period includes time for set up and clean up. You may not enter the rental space until the start time stated in your Rental Agreement, and you must clean up the room by the end time.

We rent rooms out for a minimum of one hour and then by the quarter hour.

Rent is due at the time of booking or as outlined in the Rental Agreement.
Payments may be made by check or credit card.

Checks should be made payable to “PNA”, and the rental dates/room # noted in the memo line, and delivered to PNA front desk.

Credit card payments can be made online at: https://phinney.ejoinme.org/PNAongoingRentals.

Insurance is required for movement-based activities, anything involving children, and all events with alcohol.

Insurance can be obtained through the renter’s own insurance or Event Helper.

Daily parking is free, but sometimes limited.

Please use on-site parking lots whenever possible and leave street parking for neighborhood residents. Inform your group members of the parking policy.

Phinney Center

Parking lots are adjacent to the Blue Building (upper lot) and Brick Building (lower lot) and accessed from N. 67th Street.

Parking lot is behind the GSC and accessed from N 85th Street.

There is a small kitchen on the top floor of the Blue Building at Phinney Center available for rental for a nominal fee. The kitchen is not licensed for commercial use. Renters may use the stove/oven to reheat and stage already-prepared food. Renter must wash, dry, and return all items to cabinets and drawers, wipe down countertops, remove any leftover items from refrigerator/freezer and counters, and take garbage/recycling/compost to dumpsters in parking lots.

Both buildings at Phinney Center and the GSC are ADA accessible with an elevator.

At Phinney Center, please check in with our front desk staff in the Blue Building prior to the start of your rental period. They can assist you with any questions you might have.

For the Greenwood Senior Center, renters may need to connect with the GSC Office manager in advance of their rental to schedule a meeting to learn about how to access the space after regular GSC operating hours.

Renters are responsible for cleaning up at the end of their event/activity within their rental time period. Please refer to check-out procedures posted in each room.

Generally, clean up involves:

• Returning tables and chairs to rolling carts
• Remove signs & decorations used for the event/activity
• Spot clean, sweep floors
• Empty trash, recycling & compost bins and take to the appropriate dumpsters in the parking lot
• Close windows and blinds
• Turn off fans, air purifier, lights and close the door

See our front desk staff if you need cleaning supplies or have questions.

You can bring in food and non-alcoholic beverages for your meetings and classes. We ask that you take food garbage out to our dumpster (bags provided), spot clean spills on the floor and furniture, and sweep or vacuum if needed. Ask the front desk for cleaning supplies.

You may serve alcohol to adults of legal drinking age (no kegs) as long as you arrange it with the Rentals Team in advance: renter must obtain a Banquet Permit or Special Occasion License from the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board and Event Liability Insurance and share with our Rentals Team no later than 5 business days prior to event. Contact the Rentals Team for more information.

Each room has receptacles for garbage, recycling, and compost. We ask that you separate your waste accordingly and dispose of it in the labeled bins in our parking lots.

Rooms are not furnished, but folding tables and chairs are available on rolling racks outside rooms. The front desk staff can direct you where they are stored.

At the Phinney Center, renters need to bring their own music equipment. The exceptions are Room 7 and Community Hall which have simple sound systems suitable for a single mic or background music. PNA staff are not available to provide tech support during your event, but you can set up a time in advance of your event to go over PNA sound systems.

Prior to your event/class, renters can bring flyers to our front desk for approval to be posted in our public areas.
