I’ve been noticing that most movies and TV shows that take place in Seattle are usually filmed at Vancouver or Portland, which was weird to me because I didnt get what was so bad about filming at our city. So ive been trying to understand what went wrong with the film industry in Seattle. From what Ive read online we actually had a decent thing going years ago with some classic movies shot here, talented crews, indie films, commercials and more and then it just kinda disappeared? Apparently we didn’t even have a proper soundstage until harbor island studios opened recently. Thats kinda crazy for a city as big and creative as Seattle. Meanwhile vancouver is blowing up just a couple hours away. From what i read online It does seem like things might be turning around again because king county and washington are pushing new incentives like harbor island is in use, and there’s articles about making the area more film friendly again, but still, what went wrong? What was the last real change in the film industry? I cant find anything online on this at all besides for harbor island studios. What would it take to really bring it back?
