The festival occurred at various locations, including the SIFF Cinema Uptown (3 screens), the SIFF Cinema Downtown, the SIFF Film Center (a venue at Seattle Center), the AMC Theatres at Pacific Place, and Shoreline Community College Theater. Because of a water leak damaging the SIFF Egyptian Cinema in November 2024, SIFF could not schedule festival films in the 520-seat theater.

The opening, Four Mothers, was at the Paramount Theatre. The closing was Sorry, Baby at the SIFF Cinema Downtown followed by a gala party at MOHAI. The 2025 SIFF Awards ceremony took place at the Seattle Opera House on May 25, the last day of the in-person festival.
