The movie "10 Things I Hate About You" was primarily filmed in the Seattle metropolitan area and Tacoma, Washington. Key filming locations include:
- Stadium High School in Tacoma, Washington, which served as the fictional Padua High School. This historic building was originally a luxury hotel and now functions as a school with a massive stadium next to it.
- The Stratford family house (Kat and Bianca's house) at 2715 North Junett Street, Tacoma.
- Several notable Seattle locations such as the Fremont Troll under the Aurora Bridge, Gas Works Park where the paintball scene was shot, and the Buckaroo Tavern (now closed), which was the biker bar scene location.
- The prom scenes were filmed at two locations: the interior lobby of the Paramount Theatre and the Century Ballroom, both in downtown Seattle.
- Additional filming locations include a music store at 1117 Broadway in Tacoma and other outdoor urban areas in Seattle.
The filming took place mostly between June and August 1998. Many of these iconic locations are still intact and can be visited today.
