History
The first festival was organized in 2004, spanned only five days, and was held in a rented tent in Seattle's Fremont district. That same year, Mike Hale, the owner of Hale's Brewery, volunteered to convert his warehouse space into Hale's Palladium. The Palladium has served as the heart of the festival ever since. In 2008, Moisture Festival became an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. 1
