theatre, historical layer / disappeared object
It was built in 1927 with an auditorium next door (where the Seattle Opera House is now) under the name Seattle Civic Center. It was nicknamed "the House of Suds" because of the large underwriting contribution of local tavern owner, James Osborne. The name changed to Seattle Center Arena after the Century 21 Exposition (1962 World's Fair). In 1995 the name changed again, to the Mercer Arena (the arena is on Mercer Street), when the Seattle Center Colliseum was renamed to KeyArena.
