The Runaway is located in one of Capitol Hill’s historic buildings. The building was the location for Pike/Pine Auto Row’s automobile dealership in Capitol Hill. The dealership was central to Seattle’s motor trade for about 30 years. It was well known for its basement garage. Vehicles were lowered by elevator to below street level. However, after the dealership closed, the space became an underutilized storage space.

While much of Capitol Hill has undergone significant development with many of the old buildings being torn down, the building that hosts the Runaway continues to thrive. Although many of the memories still remain, the building now features a modern yet rustic design that commands attention.
