Summary
King County’s Harbor Island Studios, once the state’s largest publicly funded film facility, is reviving under new nonprofit operator CREATE48 Media Network in a one-year deal aimed at reigniting local production momentum. After six months of inactivity following its last executive’s departure, CREATE48 has already begun securing projects and hosting events like the Seattle 48 Hour Film Project kickoff. The studio, which supported over 1,800 jobs in 2025 and hosted 160+ productions including HBO and Netflix, remains a vital hub for the region’s growing film economy. While long-term future plans face redevelopment hurdles and its industrial location, this interim agreement buys critical time to chart a sustainable path forward — as Seattle continues to thrive as a top production city with hundreds of film permits issued in 2025 alone.
